This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Frankie is in charge of writing a script for a television show, along with six other writers. The script must be finished by the end of the week. Frankie’s co-workers all bring slightly different strengths to the table, but all are at least competent. Frankie wants to write the best possible script in the generous amount of time he has to work with. In this example, which style of leadership would be most effective for Frankie’s goals?
a. Authoritarian
b. Coaching
c. Democratic
d. Delegative
Answer:
The style of leadership that would be most effective for Frankie's goals is:
C. democratic.
Explanation:
If Frankie acts as a democratic leader, he will make the most out of each member's strengths. <u>Democratic leaders allow the group's members to be more participative when it comes to decision making. Frankie will be able to encourage them to share their ideas, views, opinions, etc. Frankie is the one who will ultimately make the final decisions, but he will certainly have more material to work with, more ideas to consider, if he listens to everyone. And, since no one in his team is especially weak, there seems to be no or little disadvantage in using the leadership style.</u>
