What is Laissez-faire leadership?

A laissez-faire leader takes a hands-off approach to leadership, allowing subordinates to make decisions. The mantra of a laissez- faire leader is “Hire good people and get out of their way.” The laissez-faire leader defers to the person he has selected for a given position to provide the leadership in that area.

A non-authoritarian leadership style, Laissez faire leaders try to give the least possible guidance to subordinates, and try to achieve control through less obvious means. They believe that people excel when they are left alone to respond to their responsibilities and obligations in their own ways.

More freedom and less control in a quality work environment. Individual decisions are confirmed by the management later on which facilitate quick implementation of innovative ideas in the field the followers are working.  The culture, quality, educational status, social system in which they are working all are important for a laisssez-faire leadership style implementation. 

Allows employee to have absolute freedom to make decisions concerning the completion of their work or ask questions of the leader

Laissez-faire leadership, also known as delegative leadership, is a type of leadership style in which leaders are hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions. Researchers have found that this is generally the leadership style that leads to the lowest productivity among group members.

I absolutely agree with Mr. Krishna and Mr. Patel on more freedom and less dictation.

It means more freedom and less control. Employees are given the space to decide how to get their work done and only coached and given advice when needed.
