employees that are working together for achievement of one common objective.

leadership style that has been adopted by easy jet it has a merit of leading to High motivation
among all the team members as they are given opportunity to present their views and thoughts
related to any major decisions that is going to affect them in the long run.

looking at various aspects of a decision and sometime search differences in opinion might create
lot of internal conflicts and it becomes very difficult for the leaders to understand and consider
opinion of each and every employee (Stewart, and Brown, 2019). So there can be possibility of
situations where such high amount of internal conflicts. These can posses’ direct impact on the
overall productivity level of employees and they are not able to maintain a positive working
environment all these lead to negativity among the overall workforce and non achievement of
overall goals in the organisation.
