b. You present the program to your group members individually, obtain their suggestions, and then make the decision.
c. You present the problem to your group at a meeting, define the problem and its boundaries, and then encourage discussion as your group members make the decision.
d. You make the decision alone and then announce or "sell" it to your group.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. You present the problem to your group at a meeting, define the problem and its boundaries, and then encourage discussion as your group members make the decision.

Explanation:

The Vroom model is way to identify the best approach you can take towards a decision.

The delegation model is basically a model which represents democracy, in which the opinions are collected from all the individuals and then a final decision is taken.

Hence I believe option 'C' is the only option which fits bests on the way the delegate style works.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
