Read the following case study and attempt question number.

Mr. Rahul, a management graduate, is working in the XYZ Rubber Ltd. for the last 10 years. His performance is always consistent and many times he received 'Best Employee' Award from the management. But in the last two years, it is observed that his performance is gradually getting low. The department tried to identify his reasons for low performance but did not get much information from him. But in recent months some employees had shown disappointment on present leadership, pay system and communication. May be it was the reason for low performance of Mr. Rahul.

Which of the following is wrong ?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

A participative leader consults subordinates and involves them in decision-making, unlike an autocratic leader who gives orders and expects obedience. Statement 1 incorrectly describes participative leadership with autocratic characteristics, making it wrong. Democratic and participative are generally treated as synonymous styles.
