  Issues to Consider

  Each of the leadership styles has legitimacy depending on the situation and the types of followers the leader has.

  In your Introduction, you may want to describe three characteristics of each of the styles, and maybe put them into a table. This will help you answer the questions.

  Vignette 1:  What was the role of the higher-level in this process and how did his presence affect the behavior of the follwers?

  Vignette 2: Think about how and when you have seen this style used in your work experience or other group activities.

  Vignette 3: How do people who consider themselves to be “star” performers perceive managers?

  Vignette 5: Are there situations when particular styles are necessary and appropriate?

  Vignette 6: Why do certain leadership styles work with one person but fail with another? What about motivation — what drives employees?

  In your conclusion, you may want to discuss if you think it is possible for a leader to develop a fluency in all six leaderships styles, r you may discuss work climate and the influence it has on what style a leader should use.
