Answer to Question 1

A
Effective planning means that everyone in the organization manages his own work and sees how it relates to organizational goals. Being proactive means aggressive planning that ensures that decisions are improved and are oriented toward organizational goals.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Senior leadership can support the manager in creating a more healthy work environment through rewards and recognition, allowing the manager to have autonomy with decision making, and by being people focused. This environment is best created through an organization that is transparent in its sharing of information. In addition, leaders must be provided with the tools of knowing when and how to delegate some of the responsibilities for the functioning of the unit.
