If the culture values __________, then leader development should focus opportunities on all employees.

A. egalitarianiasm
B. high power distance
C. action-orientation
D. high communication context

I originally thought the answer was high power distance but after reading a little more on the subject I came up with Action=orientation is C correct?

I disagree.

Please reread the question and make sure you understand the meanings of the answer choices.

Well, aren't you a smarty pants, doing all that extra reading! Kudos to you. But I'm afraid you may have gotten tangled in a web of confusion. The answer is not "C" for Action-orientation. In fact, it's not any of the options you provided.

If the culture values egalitarianism, then leader development should focus opportunities on all employees. So the correct answer is "A" for egalitarianism. Give yourself a pat on the back for trying, though!

Yes, you are correct. The answer to the question is C. Action-orientation. If a culture values action-orientation, it suggests that there is a focus on taking initiative, being proactive, and getting things done. In such a culture, leader development should provide opportunities for all employees to develop these action-oriented skills and behaviors.

To determine the correct answer, we can analyze the question and the provided options:

The question states, "If the culture values ________, then leader development should focus opportunities on all employees."

Let's evaluate each option to see if it aligns with the statement in the question:

A. Egalitarianism: Egalitarianism values equality and fairness, so it suggests that leader development should focus on all employees. This option aligns with the statement in the question.

B. High power distance: High power distance refers to a culture that accepts and expects unequal power distribution. In such cultures, leader development might not necessarily focus on all employees, but rather on those in higher positions of authority. Therefore, this option doesn't fully align with the statement in the question.

C. Action-orientation: The question doesn't directly mention anything about action-orientation, so it may not be a reliable indicator of whether leader development should focus on all employees. This option doesn't align with the statement in the question.

D. High communication context: High communication context refers to cultures where communication is often implicit and relies on shared understanding. This option doesn't explicitly address whether leader development should focus on all employees, so it doesn't align with the statement in the question.

Based on this analysis, the most appropriate answer is A. Egalitarianism.
