Identify the style of Leadership discussed in the following paragraph.

Mr. Ashish, a Manager in Sahni Group of Companies, does not believe in the use of power unless it is absolutely essential. His followers are given a high degree of independence to formulate their own objectives and ways to achieve them. The group members work on their own tasks resolving issues themselves. Mr. Ashish is there only to support them and supply them the required information to complete the task assigned.

Laissez faire style of leadership

The correct answer is Option (1) → Laissez faire style of leadership.

In the Laissez faire style of leadership, leaders give their followers a high degree of independence. The leader provides minimal direction, allowing employees or team members to make their own decisions and work independently. Mr. Ashish's behavior of giving his followers autonomy, resolving issues themselves, and only providing support when necessary reflects this style.
