1. Define and briefly discuss the 'path-goal leadership theory'. (House 1971), (House & Mitchell 1974). House describes four leader behaviours. Identify these behaviours and discuss:
- which one you believe is most evident in the leadership of Richard Branson, and,
- which one is most evident in the leadership of Terry Gou.
It may be that you will argue that there is more than one of the leader behaviours demonstrated by Branson and/or Gou. Cite examples from the case to support your arguments below:
