Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Transformational leaders foster empowerment by openly sharing information with
workers so that everyone is aware of problems and the need for action. Performance appraisals
are not necessarily contrary to the philosophy or practice of transformational leadership, and
these should not be conducted by an employee's peers. Transformational leadership is
characterized by constructive engagement, not a hands-off approach.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The development of sophisticated interpersonal skills is important to building
leadership abilities. Effective leadership does not depend on feigned confidence, though selfconfidence
is a trait that can be fostered. In most cases, variety and depth of experience are
superior to narrow specialization. Effective leadership is more nuanced and complex than
simply directing the behavior of others or demonstrating assertiveness.
