Answer to Question 1

D
The leadership dimension of consideration involves activities that focus on the employee. Initiating
structures of leadership involves an emphasis on the work to be done, and a focus on the task and
production.

Answer to Question 2

B
Democratic leadership is participatory, and authority is delegated to others. Autocratic leadership
involves centralized decision making, with the leader making decisions and using power to command
and control others. Laissez-faire leadership is passive and permissive, and the leader defers decision
making. Employee-centered leadership focuses on the human needs of subordinates.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
