AMAZON HEADQUARTERS IN CAPE TOWN

The developer of Amazon's proposed African headquarters says it has lodged leave to appeal a ruling suspending construction of the R4.5 billion project. Earlier this month, Western Cape Deputy Judge President Patricia Goliath ruled that the River Club development in Observatory, Cape Town, must be halted. Its developers were ordered to "consult meaningfully" with the affected parties. The Observatory Civic Association and Goringhaicona Khoi Khoi Indigenous Traditional Council had argued that the land in question was one of the remaining undeveloped grazing lands the Khoekhoe used for their cattle. It is also used for ceremonies and gatherings.

The Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust has now lodged court papers seeking leave to appeal. The group said that if the order suspending construction remained in place, some 6 000 direct and 19 000 indirect jobs would be lost. Around 750 construction workers have already been sent home. The trust said the court had failed to consider the "severe and irreversible harm" that the Cape Town community would suffer if construction didn't restart. It added it was planning to construct a "Heritage, Cultural and Media Centre" to preserve the "intangible cultural heritage" of the Cape Peninsula Khoi and their future generations

As a project management professional, you have been tasked to provide leadership to the parties concerned in the three situations above. The objective of providing the leadership is to ensure that all the stakeholders involved are satisfied and the construction project can continue. Your task is to apply the four leadership styles (bureaucratic, laissez faire, autocratic, authoritarian, and democratic) to every situation (from a to c). Please note, more than one leadership style may be applicable to one situation.
