Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The person may not agree with the decision, but a good follower is willing to support an unpopular group decision.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Completing online continuing education programs and attending workshops and seminars can also provide opportunities to learn and practice new leadership skills. A good attendance record is essential but does not help a person prepare to be a leader. Similarly, experience with persons of different cultures and strong relationships with clients are positive, but do not necessarily contribute to leadership skills.
