True
False
Is it B and False
I disagree with your first answer, but your second one is probably right.
Could it be D?
Yes. D is a much better answer.
Yes, your answer is correct.
For the first question, the activity that would be a part of a manager's leadership function is "Coaching, guiding, and motivating employees so that they understand their jobs and perform them efficiently." This activity falls under the leadership function because it involves managing and directing the employees towards achieving their goals.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze each of the options:
- "Devising a new strategic plan to compete in an established market by introducing radically lower prices" is a part of the manager's strategic planning function, not necessarily the leadership function.
- "Recruiting qualified workers to join the organization and assigning them to their proper position" is a part of the manager's staffing function, not directly related to the leadership function.
- "Examining a financial report to see whether the firm's profits are improving and taking corrective action if they are not" is a part of the manager's controlling function, not specifically the leadership function.
- "Coaching, guiding, and motivating employees so that they understand their jobs and perform them efficiently" involves leading and directing the employees, making it a part of the manager's leadership function.
For the second question, the statement "The acceleration of technological change has increased the number of managers needed by most businesses" is actually false. Technological advancements often streamline processes and may reduce the need for as many managers.
