a leadership style in which the leader hands off and allows group members

to make decisions. Lack of role awareness in some situations, the laissez-

faire style leads to less clear roles within the group. Because team
members receive little or no guidance, they may not be completely sure
about their role in the group and what they should be doing with their time.
Poor engagement with a Laissez-faire leader-style group is often perceived
as disengaged and withdrawn, which can lead to a lack of cohesiveness
within the group. Because the leader doesn't care about what's going on,
followers sometimes take care and attention to the project.
Low accountability Some leaders may even use this style as a way to avoid
personal responsibility for group failures. When goals are not met, the
leader can blame team members for not completing tasks or meeting
expectations.
