Answer: False

Explanation: Lamont is quick and decisive. He makes most decisions by himself, issues orders, and expects his subordinates to follow them without question. Lamont's behavior is an example of the free-rein style of leadership.

Lamont practices the authoritarian style of leadership since he makes most decisions by himself, issues orders, and expects his subordinates to follow them without question. Authoritarianism as a form of government or leadership is one in which the governing body has absolute, or almost absolute, control typically maintained by force, and little heed is paid to public opinion. Such a leader as Lamont, dictates policies and procedures, makes decisions based on their ideas and judgement, and directs and controls all activities with little or no input from followers.

The question given is incorrect. Here is the correct version obtained from google:

Lamont is quick and decisive. He makes most decisions by himself, issues orders, and expects his subordinates to follow them without question. Lamont's behavior is an example of the free-rein style of leadership.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A leadership style is a leader's method of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people

There are basically three types of leadership-decision making; these include: Authoritarian, the Democratic and the Free-rein style (Laissez-Faire style).

The free-rein style of leadership is a type of leadership style in which leaders are uninvolved and allow group members to make the decisions. In this type of leadership style, managers set objectives and employees are free to do whatever is appropriate to accomplish those objectives.

Authoritarian leadership styles follows the vision of those that are in control, and may not necessarily be compatible with those that are being led. These types of leaders only create a distinct professional relationship. To them, direct supervision is been regarded as fundamental in maintaining a successful environment and followership.

In the democratic leadership style , the leader shares the decision-making abilities with group members by promoting the interests of the group members and by practicing social equality.

From the above explanations of the styles of leadership, it can be seen that Lamont demonstrates the Authoritarian style (not the free-rein style of leadership ), since he makes most decisions by himself, issues orders, and expects his subordinates to follow them without question.
