Question

Gail could see that the members of her work team were tired and losing their focus on the task. she took a moment to gather them together and said, i've been watching the clock, too. i know it's late, and i know we've all put in more hours than anyone could have expected today, and i want you to know how much i appreciate your dedication. nobody else could do what you all have done today, and i hope you'll power through this last little bit to help us meet this deadline. what leadership style is gail using?

Answer 1

Gail is using the supporting style of leadership.
She made it clear to her employees that she is there for them and that she understands that they are tired and want to go home as much as she does. She is asking them politely to bear with her for a little while until they finish the task they are supposed to complete.
