Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: According to the theory of connective leadership, leaders are developed first based upon their innate traits and their mastery of self. Leaders must be able to master themselves before they can effectively master leading others. This development is not dependent upon the leaders' connectedness with their followers or the followers' connectedness to the leader. Connective leadership development also is not based on the leader's connectedness with the latest leadership theories.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: The autocratic leader makes all the decisions and has the authority. This would be the most effective type of leadership in a code situation. The other leadership styles would be ineffective in an emergency situation. The bureaucratic leader does not trust the team members, and this would affect the cohesiveness of the code team. The democratic leader takes each member's preferences into consideration when making a decision, which is not acceptable in an emergency situation such as a code. Finally, the laissez-faire style gives no direction, which again would be inappropriate in an emergency code situation.
