🔍 Key Concepts

• Theory X vs. Theory Y assumptions about workers • Differences between autocratic and participative/supportive leadership • How leaders behave when they do not trust their subordinates

💭 Think About

• Which leadership style fits a manager who believes people avoid work and responsibility—one that shares power or one that keeps tight control? • If a manager thinks employees cannot be trusted, how will they likely handle decision‑making and supervision? • Which option sounds most like a style that emphasizes strict rules, close monitoring, and top‑down decisions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the description to Theory X assumptions (people dislike work, need direction, and avoid responsibility). • Identify which choice involves high control, low employee input into decisions. • Eliminate any options that imply empowering, developing, or inspiring employees, since the manager’s view of people is negative.
