Ans: T Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: The Ethical Challenges of Followership Difficulty Level: Easy AACSB Standard: Ethical understanding and reasoning Short Answer/Essay 1. The Bond scholars identified seven clusters of destructive leader behaviors. Discuss each “cluster” in a minimum of one sentence. Ans: Cluster 1: This type of leader makes poor decisions (often based on inadequate information), lies and engages in other unethical behavior, cannot deal with new technology, and typically fails to prioritize and delegate. Cluster 2: This type of leader lacks critical skills. She or he is unable to negotiate or persuade and cannot develop or motivate subordinates. Cluster 3: This type of leader makes good decisions and has the necessary leadership skills but is overly controlling and micromanages followers. Cluster 4: This type of leader can’t deal with conflict but plays favorites and behaves inconsistently. Johnson, Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership, 7e SAGE Publishing, 2021 Cluster 5: This type of leader isn’t all that bad but isn’t all that good either. Leaders in this category don’t seek information from others, don’t change their minds, and don’t do a good job of coordinating followers. Cluster 6: This type of leader isolates the group from the rest of the organization. Cluster 7: This type of leader creates a situation of “significant misery and despair.” Leaders in this group are brutal and bullying, frequently lying and engaging in other unethical behavior. Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: A Dramatic Difference/The Dark Side of Leadership Difficulty Level: Medium AACSB Standard: Application of knowledge 2. What is meant by “the challenge of obligation?” What does this have to do with followership? Ans: Followers contribute to a shadowy atmosphere when they fail to fulfill their minimal responsibilities by coming to work late, taking extended breaks, not carrying out assignments, undermining the authority of their leaders, stealing supplies, and so on. However, they can also contribute to an unethical climate by taking on too many obligations. Employees forced to work mandatory overtime, and salaried staff at many technology and consulting firms work 70–80 hr a week, leaving little time for family and personal interests. They experience stress and burnout, and their family relationships suffer. Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: The Challenge of Obligation Difficulty Level: Medium AACSB Standard: Ethical understanding and reasoning 3. Discuss the challenge of cynicism and what it means to followership. Ans: There is a difference between healthy skepticism, which prevents followers from being exploited, and unhealthy cynicism, which undermines individual and group performance. Followers darken the atmosphere when they become organizational cynics. That’s because cynicism destroys commitment and undermines trust. Collective performance suffers as a result. Few give their best effort when they are disillusioned with the group. Cynical employees feel less identification with and commitment to their employers while being more resistant to change; they are less likely to go beyond their job duties to help their colleagues and their organizations. The greater the degree of cynicism, the more effort is directed toward attacking the organization at the expense of completing the task at hand.
