Question

Which style of leadership is being used in the following situation?

At a start-up company with only five employees, the president and vice-president often hold meetings with the entire staff. They solicit ideas from all employees and make decisions based on the employees' input.

authoritarian
laissez-faire
democratic

Answer 1

This company is using a democratic style of leadership.

Step-by-step explanation:

Democracy denotes a form of ruling and organizing political and social systems, in which power is formed through consensus and the equally distributed right to vote.

In this sense, a labor organization with hierarchies, but in which its members make decisions jointly, preparing comprehensive proposals and taking into account all opinions without distinction of superiority, is considered a democratic organization. In these democratic organizations there is an evident parallel with political democracy, given the plural participation in decision making.
