Leadership from all company departments would like you to answer one more question concerning your outlook on the company. Your answer to this question will determine whether you will be considered for a new management position that is available in the company. Leadership explains that there are numerous issues with the proposed new position; one issue has to do with leadership style.

The previous manager used a transactional leadership approach, which has been relatively ineffective with employees. Choose a leadership style (e.g., democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire, strategic, transformational, coach, or bureaucratic). Describe why you would take it with the management position, and explain why you chose it.

Discuss your leadership style with fellow students. Why did they choose their approach?
