Autocratic leadership summary: Power and decision-making authority are mostly held by
autocratic leaders. This leadership style happens likely in an organization that focuses on
results and has to make urgent decisions that depend highly on the manager. Unskilled and
not trusted employees are accompanied by very detailed instructions and close supervision
without any second guessing or certainty.
Laissez-faire leadership summary: Laissez-faire leaders give their employees considerable
freedom in how they do their work, setting their goals, decisions, and resolve problems
independently. This leadership style is more appropriate to use for trusted, motived, skilled,
independent, and educated employees.

TASK 8.1:
The openness and international integration in Vietnam have been making great economic,
cultural, and social achievements. Besides the achieved positive aspects, social evils in
Vietnam are increasing, not only causing a great loss for the economy but also long-term
consequences for the development of society. As reported by Vietnam MOLISA (2014, p.6),
in those social evils, drug addiction has become the most serious problem with over 204,377
drug addicts, and the number of drug addicts in managed records has increased nearly
fourfold over the past 20 years since in 1994 (55,445 people). It can be said that drug abuse is
a major threat to Vietnam as well as the world. Using drugs does not only increases the rate
of young death, degrades the quality of social resources, but also directly affects drug users
themselves, erodes lifestyle morality, and increases the probability of crime: murder, robbery,
theft ... It is more dangerous when the drug is main human causes for the risk of HIV/AIDS
infection, according to Hien L.D. (2010, p.48). Thus, the prevention of drugs and drug-related
crimes is a very urgent issue for Vietnam during this time.
