The laissez-faire leadership has the following characteristics:
The group members are self-directed.
The leader resolves conflicts and determines policies.
Decisions are made quickly.
A live-and-let-live approach is followed.
The leader does not resolve conflicts and determine policies because this type of leadership is delegative, meaning leaders leave the group members alone. They are self-directed, which means that decisions are made quickly because they do not need to pass approval. Also, members do not interfere with each other so the live-and-let-live approach is indeed followed.
