Correct Answer: Participative leadership

 


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Participative leadership.

Participative leadership, also known as democratic or inclusive leadership, emphasizes involving team members in the decision-making process and encouraging their input and ideas. The CEO's approach aligns with this style by valuing employees' contributions and creating a culture where their ideas are appreciated and integrated into the organization's strategies and decisions.

Micromanagement and authoritarianism are more controlling and restrictive styles of leadership, whereas laissez-faire leadership is characterized by a hands-off approach, providing little guidance or direction to employees. The CEO's approach, as described, emphasizes collaboration and participation, aligning with the participative leadership style.
