Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Transformational leader
Rationale:
🟦 Transformational leadership focuses on identifying shared values and a common vision between leaders and employees to inspire commitment and motivation.
🟦 This leadership style empowers employees by encouraging autonomy, creativity, and professional growth rather than relying solely on rules or rewards.
🟦 Transformational leaders actively engage staff in decision-making, helping employees feel valued and invested in organizational goals.
🟦 By aligning individual values with organizational values, this leader promotes intrinsic motivation and long-term job satisfaction.
🟦 In nursing leadership, transformational leadership is associated with improved staff morale, retention, and quality of patient care.
Laissez-faire leadership provides minimal direction.
🟦 This style involves limited guidance or involvement, which can leave employees without support or empowerment.
🟦 It does not actively identify or unify staff around shared values.
Bureaucratic leadership emphasizes rules and structure.
🟦 Decision-making is guided by policies, procedures, and hierarchy rather than employee empowerment.
🟦 This approach limits flexibility and does not focus on shared values.
Transactional leadership is reward- and task-focused.
🟦 It motivates employees through rewards and consequences, not through shared values or vision.
🟦 This style supports short-term performance rather than empowerment.
