I believe the best style of leadership here would be democratic.
All of them should decide by vote who they want their leader to be, which is what happens in democracy. Given that they all need to work together, it's best for them to decide together on the book, specific projects, and the division of their work, and the best option for them would be a democracy.
Authoritarian style would mean the leader will impose on them whatever he or she wants; laissez-faire would mean they 'employees' decide without really taking into account their leader, which shouldn't be done in this case.

I think how the text uses dramatic irony with the use of dramatic adjectives and other describing words. (sorry if I'm wrong I'm just not that smart)
