Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A laissez-faire leader is someone who takes a hands-off approach and lets their team work independently without much guidance or control. Jane in the accounting department fits this description as her philosophy is "do your work, and come find me if you need me." The other options all involve some level of control or input from the leader, which is not characteristic of a laissez-faire leadership style.
