Leadership Style (3) : Delegative (free reign) PhotoHi you guys, still with me?

Let’s talk about the third style of leadership.
In this style, the leader prefers allowing his employees to make the decisions while saying “You two take care of the problem while I am. . . “
Nevertheless, the leader still takes responsibilities of the decisions that are made. This style is commonly used by the time the employees are given an authority and able to analyze the situation and determine what needs to be done and how to do it with or without the leader’s instruction and monitor.
This is as a matter of fact a perfect leadership style. Leaders, you cannot do everything by yourselves, hence you must set priorities and delegate certain tasks to entrusted employees you have. This is not a style to use when things are going out of expectation and you blame others meanwhile they just follow and try to accomplish tasks you give. This is a style to be implemented when you the leader are fully trustable and confidence in the people under your command. Just keep in mind not to be afraid to use this style, on the other hands, use it as wise as possible.
There is also no need to be afraid that the employee you delegate will turn to blame you; as long as you are at the top position, they could just sigh and hardly talk about any obstacles they meet during the delegation. It is common; however, it is your time to return things in balance.
