Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Just as there is no best leadership style domestically, research comparing different cultures found that there is no best leadership style. The research concluded that different skills, roles, and experiences of a leader are needed to lead effectively in different cultures and that cultures differ on several key dimensions such as assertiveness acceptance, time-orientation, and gender equality. One leader may be effective in one culture but the skills, roles, and experiences that make the leader effective in that culture may not be relevant in another culture.
