QUESTION $1[25$ MARKS$]$

Thabang Breweries $($Pvt$)$ Ltd is a successful beverages manufacturer and distributor in

Botswana. Its top leadership comprises two men and one woman. The Managing Director

is Mr$.$ Mpologo. He is very popular with subordinates. He ensures that his subordinates

agree on tasks as a team. He ensures that there is greater motivation and commitment of all

employees to achieve success. Mr$.$ Mpologo established a strong team made up of

knowledgeable and skilled members.

Ms Ramakgang is the Human Resources Director. She is nicknamed $$Iron Lady$$ because

she is a tough nut to crack. She is a boss of the highest order. Her word is final and so far,

more than ten employees have been fired on the spot for attempting to question her

decisions. On the other hand, Mr Kgomotso, the Marketing Director, is the direct opposite

of Ms Ramakgang. He gives very little or no guidance to his subordinates leaving them to

use their own discretion. He allows them complete freedom to make decisions. Mr

Kgomotso$$s role is just providing subordinates with the tools and resources needed to do

the job with no or very minimum supervision. He expects group members to solve

problems on their own.

Question:

From the above case study, identify the different leadership styles used by Mr Mpologo,

Ms Ramakgang, and Mr Kgomotso, respectively. Demonstrate knowledge of the situations

where the leadership styles of these leaders are appropriate and how these leadership styles

can influence quality in your organisation.
