Question

Carmen is a member of a student taskforce that was asked to recommend solutions to the university's budget problem. when she noticed that no one had mentioned the possibility of a tuition increase, carmen said, "i know that nobody here wants to raise tuition. but since a tuition increase is possible solution to the budget problem, i think we have an obligation to consider it." according to your textbook, what kind of leadership need did carmen's action fulfill?

Answer 1

Answer: democratic leadership

Carmen stated a possible solution that was increasing tuition fee and then Carmen said that it should be considered. This means that she did not impose it that that is the only solution and that has to be done in any way, if she did then it would’ve been autocratic leadership.

Carmen left some room for discussion and this means it is a democratic approach in leadership.
