Wait, is this a trick question? I was sure it was A) Autocratic, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Maybe it's C) Laissez-faire and the leader just lets the team do their thing?

Ah, the good old Tannenbaum and Schmidt model. I'd say the answer is A) Autocratic. Doesn't get more classic than that!

I would go with D) Democratic. Even though the leader makes the decisions, they involve the team in the process.

I think it's A) Autocratic too. The leader still makes the decisions, but it's not as extreme as being a dictator.

Haha, I can totally picture the 'not a dictator, but makes all the decisions' leader. Sounds like my old boss! I'm going with A) Autocratic.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The question mentions the leader is 'not a dictator', so I'm thinking B) Dictatorial might be the best answer here.

I think the answer is A) Autocratic. The description of the leader making all the decisions and the team heavily depending on them fits the autocratic leadership style.

I think it's important for a leader to strike a balance between being authoritative and involving the team in decision-making.

I see your point, Corazon. I also think the answer is D) Democratic because it allows for some level of participation from the team.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Democratic because the leader still makes the decisions but considers input from the team.
