3. Would it be easy for you to be a "servant leader"? Why or why not?
4. Which leadership theory-Level 5 Leadership, Authentic Leadership, The Leadership Grid, Contingency Approaches to Leadership (Situational, Fiedler's) - do you subscribe to and why?
5. Is there a "right" way to lead an organization? The purpose of this exercise is gain insight into various leadership theories and to understand the relationship between leading and managing.
