The head of public relations utilized a leadership style called democratic or participative style.

The democratic leadership encourages the active participation of the members of the hiring committee, who select the finalists for the position.

Decision-making is shared between the hiring committee and the head of the public relations department. The hiring committee carries out candidates evaluations to guide the final decision by the head of the department.

As the direct opposite of the participative or democratic leadership style, the autocratic style does not encourage the committee to decide the final candidate for the position.

Thus, a democratic leadership style is participative and encourages input from members of the selection group.
