ANSWER
Robert House believes that a leader can use these four
leadership styles and actually shift back and forth among them:
Directive leadership—letting followers know what is
expected; giving directions on what to do and how; scheduling work to be done;
maintaining definite standards of performance; clarifying the leader’s role in
the group.
Supportive leadership—doing things to make work more
pleasant; treating team members as equals; being friendly and approachable;
showing concern for the well-being of subordinates.
Achievement-oriented leadership—setting challenging goals;
expecting the highest levels of performance; emphasizing continuous improvement
in performance; displaying confidence in meeting high standards.
Participative leadership—involving team members in decision
making; consulting with them and asking for suggestions; using these
suggestions when making decisions.
