Which participative leaders let group members reach the final decision through a vote?
AConsultative leaders
BConsensual leaders
CDemocratic leaders
DAutocratic leaders
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Democratic leaders
1. Participative leadership has three types: democratic, consensual, and consultative.
2. Democratic leaders solicit input from all members of the group and then allow the members to make the final decision through a voting process.
3. Consensual leaders also encourage discussion, but they require every party involved to agree, which is agreement rather than a vote.
4. Consultative leaders confer with subordinates and then keep the final decision for themselves, so no vote takes place.
5. Autocratic leaders sit outside the participative group altogether.
6. The vote is the marker that separates the democratic type from the other two.
