4.2.2—Leadership style

4.2.2 Leadership style.

• Muczyk and Reimann's four styles of leader behaviour.
• Scouller's levels of leadership including public, private and personal levels.
• Leadership style and gender (exemplified by the following key study).
• Key study on leadership style and gender: Cuadrado et al. (2008).

This matters because —leadership style determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —leadership style to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Leadership style is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
