Answer 1

Answer:

The Dictatorial Style of Leadership

Explanation:

Steve Hewitt (City Administrator) says that the only thing important in running operations is to focus on efficiency in operations, instead of interpersonal relationships. To him, interpersonal relationship is not important.

Which style of leadership (depicted in the leadership grid) does this exemplify?

THE PRODUCE-OR-PERISH Style

The case in the question above is most closely associated with the produce-or-perish style of leadership. This is now called the dictatorial style. The opposite of this style is the Accommodating or Country Club style. In the dictatorial style, concern for production exceeds concern for people. The focus on efficiency in operations and the corresponding neglect of interpersonal relationship among workers, puts much pressure on employees.
