Answer:
B) Many different styles of leadership can be effective
Explanation:
Leadership refers to guiding, directing and motivating employees in such a manner so as to induce them to act in a desired way which contributes to fulfillment of organizational goals and group objectives.
Management is a more authoritative function in relation to leadership. A manager and leader both have followers, but a manager's following is owed to his authority and control while a leader creates his followers via personal traits such as charisma or sound judgement.
A manager is accountable for his own performance and his subordinates while there is no clear accountability for a leader, who is more concerned with group goals.
Thus, as a manager seeks to develop her leadership skills, she needs to be aware that leadership is more informal and thrives upon the state of interpersonal relationships, a leader builds with the followers.
There is no single leadership style which can be universally applied. Rather, leadership is situational and a leadership style should be based upon various parameters such as group goals, interests, the dynamics of the team, and the state of interpersonal relationships, etc.
