involves a team guided by a leader where all individuals are involved in the decision- making process to determine what needs to be done and how it should be done. The group's leader has the authority to make the final decision of the group.
Laissez- faire
Very little guidance from leaders
Complete freedom for followers to make decisions
Leaders provide the tools and resources needed
Group members are expected to solve problems on their own
Chelludurai's multidimensional model of leadership
Actual behaviour= is the way a leader goes about the role in a specific situation
Required behaviour = is the expectation that the management has on the leader
Preferred behaviour= is the way the athletes like their leader to relate to them
An ideal situation that leads to high levels of arousal is when all three behaviours are concurrent.
