This post details famous laissez faire leaders, if you're interested: https://futureofworking.com/5-famous-laissez-faire-leaders/ https://futureofworking.com/5-famous-laissez-faire-leaders/.
By any chance have you worked at startups/in the tech industry? Every single startup I've ever worked at seems to have had a laissez-faire approach to leadership.
- angrais 6y agoYes, have worked in startups, tech (as SWE), and academic research (computing), and found the article posted above to resonate with my experiences: take it easy, trust your team, build and get results. Having said that, I've recently started managing and have no idea how best to do it. I'm emulating what I have experienced (laissez-faire it seems), but wanted to read me. Thanks for the link! Edit: just realized you're the author of the blog post, oh hai! I've read most of the posts on the site following this HN link and I really enjoyed the style of writing. Great work!
- mdu96 6y agoHaha thank you, I appreciate that! And got it. Congrats on your new management role -- I think a lot about similar questions too...maybe once you learn some best practices, you could write something up and share it with HN :)
