Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of leadership styles in social psychology, which describe how leaders interact with their group members and make decisions.
Identify the characteristics of each leadership style: Authoritarian leadership involves strict control and clear direction; Democratic leadership encourages group participation and shared decision-making; Transformational leadership inspires and motivates followers to achieve change.
Recognize that Laissez-faire leadership is distinct because it involves minimal leadership intervention, where the leader takes a hands-off approach and allows group members to make decisions independently.
Analyze the question's key phrase: 'a group in which no one takes a leadership position,' which aligns with the idea of minimal or absent leadership.
Conclude that the leadership style characterized by no active leadership or direction is Laissez-faire leadership.
