Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Personal time management refers, in part, to the knowing of self. Self-awareness is a critical leadership skill, and being self-aware and setting goals helps managers determine how their time is best spent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
At this point, Maryanne is still experiencing discomfort and disillusionment with the gap between what she expected and what others expect of her in the performance of her role as manager. She is considering the significance and fit of the relationship for her, which is consistent with role discrepancy.
