Introduction
As we live in a world controlled by entropy, randomness is a default attitude people pursue by nature; however, advancements and prosperity are achieved mainly when chaos is eliminated. Chaos and haphazardness hinder the paths of many great advancements, but the spotlight will be placed on business developments and strategies and how they are linked to leadership strategies. Leadership is the act of aligning and organizing the tasks sought by any organization as discussed by Casadesus-Masanell and Ricart (2010).

I prefer to use the Laissez Faire Leadership Style for it engages the people around you and stimulates more ideas in your mind as there is a diversity of perspectives and it is based passing the leadership process to the worker. The Laissez Faire style allows all of the team members to be engaged in the choices and decisions, which eliminates any feeling of uselessness since the members can pull in their thoughts just like the higher heads in the hierarchy. My choice of the Laissez Faire Leadership Style depends on several success stories of organizations that used it; one of these organizations is SAMSUNG's use of the leadership style to achieve its business plans.

Cycling also has the advantage of giving the space for the members to prove themselves and forces them to be creative and teach them to be task-handlers. This method could be applied only if weekly or bi-weekly leadership workshops given for all of the departments to ensure that the basic leadership methodologies and strategies are met and also specific tests should be applied to choose several members to be leaders for six months with a guarantee that they could not ruin the business plan of the company.
