Which decision-making style involves a lack of control and accountability?

Proactive decision-making style
Reactive decision-making style
Inactive decision-making style
Decisive decision-making style

The correct answer is: Inactive decision-making style

The inactive decision-making style is characterized by a lack of control and accountability because it often involves avoiding decisions or delaying action. Individuals who adopt this style may feel overwhelmed by choices or are reluctant to take responsibility for the outcomes of their decisions. This can lead to missed opportunities and an inability to influence situations, as decisions are essentially made by default through inaction. In contrast, proactive decision-making involves taking initiative and anticipating challenges, while reactive decision-making centers on responding to events as they unfold, often with a sense of urgency. The decisive decision-making style is marked by clear choices and assertiveness, leading to effective and timely decisions. Each of these other styles requires some level of engagement and accountability, which is absent in the inactive approach.
