Answer 1

Answer:Laissez-faire leadership

Explanation:Laissez-faire leadership, which is also called delegative leadership is a leadership in which a leaders let his or her people do things on their own without the leader's interference. The leader let people do things their way with any attitude that as long as they get the work done.

It can be beneficial or be a downfall depending on the group of people under the leader. If people are more advanced with appropriate high level skills for the job they are likely to excel working alone but if people are still suffering a lack of certain skills it is likely to fail.
