The Laissez-faire leader impacts on workers autonomy

By Mauro Libi.- Laissez-faire is a French expression that can be translated to "let’s do it" or "let it go". In the business field, leadership is used to define leaders who give an autonomy high level to the members of their team. It is a very efficient leadership style in teams composed of members with a great professional experience and an autonomy high level.

Leader has a passive role, since the workers or the group are those who have the power.

Collaborators have operational and decision-making independence, as leaders on workers to set goals, and most employees can make important decisions. It doesn’t judge or value the contributions of its employees and that they have total freedom and they will have the support of the leader only, if they ask for it. This type of leadership can work when the people who are part of our company have a certain age, a perfect knowledge of the operation of the business and its functions.

A basic characteristic of leadership is laissez-faire. It is that employees are not responsible for making their own decisions and even the leader can be influenced by their opinions or personal interests. Their participation in implementing new work techniques is limited and only provides more information about the group of applicants, for example, in the development of a successful project.

On the other hand, one of the risks that companies can face with this type of leadership is, that it adopts a paternalistic attitude of a permissive nature, also their lack of evaluation and opinion about the contributions of their collaborators that can be leaded to the objectives being dispersed at the same time as the tasks. Faced with this situation, if there is no other model of influential leadership, the group is expected to be at risk of drifting.

It imposes nothing and its intervention is very scarce. This leadership model openly let every person do the responsibilities that they do at their own discretion. Employees have a high degree of independence to work and are free to apply their own methodologies to achieve success.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By Mauro Libi Crestani. Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car. Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car. I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me. I have a married friend who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects. Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity.
