1) Is George guilty of micromanaging? Why/why not?
2) Using your knowledge of the “Situational Leadership” model presented in class, how would you classify the type of leader behavior used by George to manage Shelley? What was Shelley’s follower readiness level when she started at the company? What is Shelley’s follower readiness level now? Was George’s type of leader behavior appropriate for Shelley’s follower readiness level when she first started with the company? Is George’s type of leader behavior appropriate for Shelley’s follower readiness level now? If not, what style should George have started out using with Shelley and given Shelley’s current follower readiness level, what style should he be using now? Explain.
