Which participative leaders require every party involved to agree before a decision stands?
ADemocratic leaders
BAutocratic leaders
CFree-rein leaders
DConsensual leaders
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Consensual leaders
1. Consensual leaders encourage discussion about issues and then require that all parties involved agree to the final decision.
2. This is the general style used by labor mediators, where an agreement binds every side.
3. Democratic leaders settle matters by a vote, so a minority can be outvoted rather than having to agree.
4. Free-rein leaders hand the whole task over and do not run the decision at all.
5. Autocratic leaders decide alone, so agreement by all parties is not sought.
6. Universal agreement is therefore the marker of the consensual type.
