When a project manager is leading a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are expected to contribute substantial expertise and ideas to project decisions, which leadership style is generally most effective for harnessing their input and maintaining engagement?
Collaborative (participative) leadership encourages open dialogue and shared decision-making, allowing experienced team members to apply their expertise and feel ownership of outcomes. Directive or autocratic leadership can stifle contributions, laissez-faire leadership may lack the structure needed to channel ideas productively, and transactional leadership focuses on rewards rather than collective problem-solving. Therefore, collaborative leadership best fits the described situation.
