In the Laissez‐faire Leadership Style, Self‐operation Mechanisms and Reverse Management Are Intertwined, Resulting in A Form of Governance By Doing Nothing

German psychologist Lewin divided leadership styles into three types: autocracy, democratic participation, and laissez‐faire. In the past, due to the influence of traditional Chinese leadership culture, autocratic leadership appeared to be predominant. However, as times have evolved, various leadership styles have emerged in practice, including the laissez‐faire approach. Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge that both merits and demerits exist within the laissez‐faire leadership style, both in theory and practice. In this paper, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of laissez‐faire leadership and propose a method for optimizing this style. We will discuss how the implementation of a self‐operating system mechanism, along with reversing the conventional management approach towards subordinates, can enhance the laissez‐faire leadership style, allowing it to leverage its strengths and achieve the ideal state of "non‐interference".
