Answer to Question 1

R1: The telling leadership style is appropriate with a new employee uncertain about the job responsibilities and the tasks required. Communication between supervisor and the employee, at this point, needs to be one-way; R2: The selling leadership style works well when an employee is more involved in the job but still lacks some ability and is not fully trained; R3: The participating leadership style comes into play after the employee has become expert on the job. The supervisor no longer needs to tell the employee what to do but still needs to be involved with what the employee is doing. The style is supportive but not overly task-centered. R4: The delegating leadership style emerges when the employee has fully developed, has the supervisor's trust and can carry out duties with little, if any, direction.
