A) The middle-of-the-road styleB) The country club styleC) The authority-compliance styleD) The impoverished style

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The middle-of-the-road style

Explanation:

The middle-of-the-road leadership style is plotted in the center of the grid and shows balanced concern for production and people. Employees are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their jobs, and their performance is average.

It should be adequate in all four management areas :

1) Interpersonal skills.

2) Intrapersonal skills.

3) Executive abilities.

4) Leadership potential.

hence option A) The middle-of-the-road style is the right choice.
