Laissez-Faire Leadership
Leadership style giving employees maximum freedom and minimal direction.
Real World
Warren Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries with laissez-faire leadership, allowing CEOs of acquired companies to operate with near-total autonomy.
Exam Focus
Always link leadership style to context — laissez-faire suits skilled, experienced teams; applying it to new or low-skilled staff is a common exam mistake.
