Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A charismatic leader is characterized by an emotional relationship between the leader and group members.
Rationale 2: Shared leadership recognizes that a professional workforce is made up of many leaders. No one person is considered to have knowledge or ability beyond that of other members of the work group, as in this situation.
Rationale 3: A transformational leader fosters creativity, risk taking, commitment, and collaboration by empowering the group to share in the organization's vision.
Rationale 4: A transactional leader has a relationship with followers based on an exchange for some resource valued by the followers.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This option is more reflective of a democratic-style leader.
Rationale 2: This option is more reflective of a democratic-style leader.
Rationale 3: An autocratic leader makes decisions for the group. This style is likened to a dictator in that the autocratic leader gives orders and directions to the group, determines policies, and solves problems without input from the group.
Rationale 4: This option is more reflective of a democratic-style leader.
