Doing an online uni test, timed, dont think im doing so well. Going to use my ask the audience life line on this one.... any help would be great!

####
As a leader I view my subordinates as being very lazy and constantly in need of mechanisms of command and control placed around and on them. My subordinates are not to be trusted. I make decisions and my subordinates HAVE to do as I say and fulfil those tasks that satisfy the decisions I have made. I acnnot give my subordinartes an inch or they will take a mile. How would you describe me?
a) Do you think I am an authoratarian?

b ) Am I a benevolent authoratarian?

c )Do you think I consult too much with my workforce and allow them too much autonomy?
d )Do you think I allow my subordinates the freedom to solve problems

#####

Which onne?

Thanks.

Which one you think it is?

Next question!

If I were an employee of yours and I was extremely able and skilled at doing my job and doing what you wanted me to do together with a willingness to do my work, what leadership style would I be most likely to respond to according to Hersey and Blanchard?
a) Country club
b) Impoverished leader
c) Authority obedience
d) Team management



Its timed so keep em coming!

Mucho mucho appreciated.
