Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Some leaders and managers may like to do the work and think that doing it themselves will get the work done better and faster. This is underdelegating.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Performance standards clarify how the leader or manager measures achievement. These standards define the quantity or quality of work expected and the time allowed for its accomplishment.
