Question

At a management retreat, Nicole and her colleagues are reminiscing about how much they enjoyed college life. Everyone remembers their favorite management topics. Nicole is surprised to realize that each of them has a favorite leadership perspective. However, no one can remember the name of the theory they liked most! Tony argues that his favorite theory recognized that the best answer concerning which style of leadership to use is "It depends!" He maintains that the theory he liked the most argued for "looking before you lead." Tony's favorite leadership perspective is the _____ approach.

a. trait

b. behavioral

c. situational

d. charismatic

Answer 1

Answer: Situational

Explanation:

Situational leadership looking before you lead means you must study and understand the people you want to lead and to adapt your leadership style to suit their behaviours.

It's not trait because trait means leaders are born and not made, it's equally not behavior which believe leaders are trained not born.

Charistamatic leadership is influencing the followers to achieve certain objectives with ones characteristics or communication.
