For this exercise, you will do each of the $16$ combinations of leaders and members and indicate where there are $$matches$$ and where there are $$mismatches$$ based on the Life Cycle of Leadership Theory.

Start with Leader $1$ and think about whether this leader seems HIGH or LOW on INITIATING STRUCTURE and CONSIDERATION. The combination will then indicate which of the four leadership styles $($i$.$e$.,$ Delegating, Participating$/$Supporting$,$ Selling$/$Coaching$,$ and Telling$/$Directing$).$ Then, read each of the Member statements. Think about each Member$$s level of readiness and indicate whether there is $$match$$ or $$mismatch$$ between the Leader$$s leadership style and the member$$s readiness.

Repeat this process for Leaders $2,3,$ and $4.$ At the end, you should have a $$match$$ or $$mismatch$$ for each of the $16$ combinations listed below. See the attached sheet for a description of each Leader and Follower.
