Explanation:
With authoritarian, or autocratic, leadership, the activities of the group
are primarily directive, with activities determined by the leader and
dictated to the followers, with no input from the followers on decisions.
Coercive management forces actions upon staff. Democratic leadership
is appropriate when the task, or decision at hand, is not one that requires
urgent action, when subordinates can be expected to make meaningful
contributions, and when their input can be taken into account. Laissez-
, faire management provides little or no direction; coworkers develop
their own goals, make their own decisions, and take responsibility for
their own management. (less)
