Which of the following leadership styles is least likely to consider input from employees in the decision process?

  1. Laissez faire.
  2. Autocratic.
  3. Participative.
  4. Consultative.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Under the autocratic style, the manager dictates all decisions to employees. Employees are not allowed to give input. Autocratic leaders rely on threats and punishment, and do not trust workers. Autocratic leadership can sometimes be the most effective form, such as where there is limited time to make a decision or when workers do not respond to any other leadership style.



Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard developed a situational leadership model with two dimensions:task and relationship behaviors. In this model, a telling leadership style has which dimensions?

  1. High task and high relationship.
  2. High task and low relationship.
  3. Low task and high relationship.
  4. Low task and low relationship.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A telling leadership style provides specific instructions to employees and closely supervises performance. Thus, the leader tells followers what tasks to accomplish and how to do them. Task-related behavior is high and relationship-related behavior is low. The telling leadership style is appropriate when followers have low maturity; that is, when they are lacking in both competence and confidence, so that they are unable and unwilling to do what is necessary.
