Answer to Question 1

D
The leadership description that includes committing people to action, converting followers into leaders, and converting leaders into agents of change refers to transformational leaders (Bennis & Nanus, 1985). Transactional leaders are more concerned with the day-to-day operations. Situational leaders adapt their leadership style according to the situation at hand. Charismatic leaders display self-confidence and strength in their convictions and tend to lead by using personal power and evoking emotion in their followers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Fiedler's (1967) contingency theory of leadership views leadership effectiveness as dependent upon the interaction of the leader's personality and the needs of the situation. These are based upon leader-member relations (not follower-joiner relations), task structure, and position power.
