Read the passage and answer the question.

Mr. Sunil Diali is a safety officer in a reputed PSU sector ECL. He supervises the workers towards the predetermined goals of the organisation and directs how to eradicate unsafe practices of inundation, fire breakouts, existence of inflammable gases etc. On one such instances there was huge fire breakout in the underground mines and the workers morale was down and demotivated because of several risk hazards. Mr. Diali observed the whole situation and consulted with all his workers and constantly monitored, guided and inspired them to integrate their efforts and accept the situation as a challenge and take adequate safety measures for fire extinguish and subsidizing its effects. Thereby, production turnover was outstanding and outperformed other subsidiaries. Mr. Diali was recognised with Bravery Award from CIL.

'Mr. Diali consulted with all his workers, he listened to their opinions.'

Which form of leadership is identified here?

Democratic

The correct answer is option 3- Democratic.

The form of leadership identified here is "Democratic." In a democratic leadership style, the leader involves team members in decision-making, values their opinions, and seeks their input before making decisions. Mr. Diali's actions of consulting with all his workers and listening to their opinions reflect this collaborative approach.

* A democratic leader will develop action plans and makes decisions in consultation with his subordinates. He will encourage them to participate in decision-making. This kind of leadership style is more common now-a-days, since leaders also recognise that people perform best if they have set their own objectives. They also need to respect the other’s opinion and support subordinates to perform their duties and accomplish organisational objectives. They exercise more control by using forces within the group.
