Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Fiedler's contingency model proposes that effective group performance depends on the proper match between the leader's style and the degree to which the situation gives the leader control. A key factor in leadership success, Fiedler argued, is the individual's basic leadership style. To identify a person's leadership style, Fiedler developed the least preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire that measures whether a person is task- or relationship-oriented.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Explanation: Power does not require goal compatibility, merely dependence. Leadership, on the other hand, requires some congruence between the goals of the leader and those being led.
