...•Analyze the leadership styles discussed in Chapter 5 and determine which leadership style would have the most positive effect on ethical decisions. Explain your rationale. I know that leadership styles would have an powerful effect because these leaders are experts in their field of work, and individuals that are able to clearly articulate a vision and the path to success. The trademark of this type of leader is their ability to mobilize people towards a vision. This leadership style is most effective when a new vision is needed, or when the path to that vision is not always clear. One of the interesting aspects of this style is that even though the leader is considered an authority, they allow their followers to figure out the best way to accomplish their goals. The authoritative leadership style is best used in situations when a company or followers seem to be drifting aimlessly. For example, it's effective when a group or organization has been isolated, and their overall strategy and fit within the larger company is no longer clear to the followers. Pros Studies conducted by Hay / McBer examined the observations of thousands of executives; trying to understand their behaviors and their impact on the work environment.

The findings of this study indicate the authoritative leader has the most positive impact of all styles on the overall operating climate. This style...
