CLEP Management

Answer: C - In both the trait and managerial grid approaches to leadership, the situation in which the leader operated was ignored.

Key Takeaway: When considering leadership and its effectiveness, it is important to also consider the situation that the leader and their team are operating in. Certain leadership styles may prove very effective in one situation while not at all effective in another. For example, a militaristic leadership style works well during war-time military efforts, but would not be the ideal leadership style for a group of teenage volunteers during a community revitalization project.
