Gary downs recently has noticed that the plant he is managing is delivering only 30 percent of its products on time. to determine what is causing the problem, he assembles the various department heads and the plant supervisor to get their input on the matter. although the ultimate responsibility is his, he has no difficulty in delegating decision-making authority to any member of this group. this participative style of leadership suggests that gary is a(n) leader.

This participative style of leadership suggests that Gary is a "democratic" leader.

Democratic leadership, otherwise called participative leadership or shared leadership, is a sort of leadership style in which individuals from the gathering play a more participative job in the basic leadership process. This sort of administration can apply to any association, from private organizations to schools to government.  

Everybody is given the chance to take part, thoughts are traded unreservedly, and talk is energized. While the majority rule process tends to center around gathering equity and the free stream of thoughts, the pioneer of the gathering is still there to offer direction and control. The democratic leader is accused of choosing who is in the gathering and who gets the opportunity to add to the choices that are made.
