Results from the leader-participation model conclude that it is more important to talk about autocratic and participative ________

A) situations than leaders
B) leaders than situations
C) leaders than followers
D) followers than situations

Answer: A
Explanation: Conclusions from the leader-participation model indicate that situations matter more for leadership than leaders. A leader can change his or her style more easily than he or she can change a situation, making "situations than leaders" the correct response and ruling out all other responses. "Leaders than situations" is incorrect because situations are more important than leaders. Both remaining choices are incorrect because they deal with followers rather than leaders and situations.
