Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Permissive leaders assume a hands-off approach.
Rationale 2: The democratic leader encourages group discussion and decision making.
Rationale 3: According to contingency theorists, effective leaders adapt their leadership style to the situation. Unlike the singular style of authoritarian, democratic, and permissive leaders, the situational leader adapts his or her leadership to the readiness and willingness of the group to perform the assigned task.
Rationale 4: A bureaucratic leader relies on the organization's rules, policies, and procedures to direct the group's work efforts.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: informal
Rationale : An informal leader is not officially appointed to direct the activities of others, but because of seniority, age, or special abilities, is selected by the group as its leader and plays an important role in influencing colleagues, co-workers, or other group members to achieve the group's goals.
