1. Analyze the leadership style(s) of a senior executive (CEO, CFO, COO, Director, etc.) in your current or previous organization who made a positive or negative impact on you.

The general manager in my current organization, who has made a positive impact on me, demonstrates three different leadership styles in path-goal theory.
The first leadership style that my GM demonstrates is directive leadership. Directive leadership involves letting employees know precisely what is expected of them, giving them specific guidelines for performing tasks, scheduling work, setting standards of performance, and making sure that people follow standard rules and regulations.

These different perceptions can make it difficult for a manager to satisfy all employees. It is important for managers to look for and correct major inequities so that employees won’t take costly or harmful actions against the company (Williams, 2013).
