Answer 1

Pramod adopted Democratic Leadership or Participative Leadership.

• In democratic leadership, the leader consults his/her subordinates in the decision-making process and encourages them to give suggestions in the setting of goals and in implementing the decisions.
• It helps the leader to possess greater confidence, maintain co-operation in the team and also increases the initiatives of the group.
• The quality of work also increases as everyone in the group present their ideas.
