The nurse-manager of a hospital unit holds monthly staff meetings. During these meetings, she maintains control over the meeting and agenda, resists consensus decision making, and uses discipline and coercion to elicit desired behavior from staff. This manager uses what type of leadership style
A. Autocratic.
B. Democratic.
C. Participative.
D. Laissez-fair
参考答案：A
解析：Autocratic leaders obtain power with a group by maintaining control over the group. Democratic leaders share power by allowing consensus decision making and distribution of power. Participative leadership is another term for democratic leadership. Laissez-faire leaders maintain no control over the group; decision making is unstructured and commonly performed by an unofficial leader of the group.
