Since it is difficult tо wаtch mоvie scenes under Hоnorlock, а scenаrio will be provided for you and you will be asked to answer questions based on that information. A team of six diverse business students is preparing to compete in a university startup pitch competition. The group includes members from different cultural backgrounds, communication styles, and academic strengths. Their faculty advisor assigned no formal leader. Early on, Layla, known for her creativity and positive energy, steps up, not by assigning roles but by motivating the group with a shared vision: “Let’s not just make a product, let’s solve something real.” She encourages open brainstorming, actively listens to every idea, and redirects conversation if someone is interrupted. When Ravi, who’s usually quiet, proposes a bold new pitch angle, Layla builds on it, saying: “That’s exactly the kind of thinking we need.” Over time, the team becomes energized and collaborative. Their ideas build off one another. They hit roadblocks, but Layla maintains focus on growth and values, saying, “Let’s use this setback to make our plan stronger.” As the deadline nears, everyone feels proud of the work, not just the result, but how they got there. The team bonds deeply, and the judges even comment on their chemistry and cohesion. Provide a minimum of 1 full paragraph for each question, that fully explains your answer using concepts from class: 1. Based on the leadership styles and behaviors demonstrated in the scenario, which leadership model best fits Layla’s approach, and why? Functional Behavioral Model Fiedler’s Contingency Model Hershey-Blanchard Situational Model Communicative Competency Model 2. How is synergy demonstrated in this group, and what specific leadership style does Layla model to support it? 3. Describe two group traits and one group skill visible in this scenario, and explain how they contributed to the group’s success.

Since it is difficult tо wаtch mоvie scenes under Hоnorlock, а scenаrio will be provided for you and you will be asked to answer questions based on that information. It’s mid-semester, and a group of five students in a college communication class has been assigned a major group presentation. The professor didn’t assign a group leader, but one student, Jordan, naturally begins organizing tasks and checking in with everyone. In the first meeting, Jordan arrives with a color-coded timeline, assigns research topics without discussion, and frequently interrupts others when they share ideas. Taylor, a quieter student, attempts to suggest a more creative approach to the topic, but Jordan brushes it off with, “We don’t have time for experiments, we just need to get this done right.” Another member, Alex, openly rolls their eyes and eventually starts skipping meetings, saying they’ll just “do their own part later.” The rest of the group becomes divided: one student supports Jordan’s structure, while two others feel disconnected and avoid speaking up. Despite the tension, the group finishes the project and earns a decent grade, but no one seems proud of the work. After the presentation, Taylor tells another classmate, “I don’t think Jordan listens. It’s like this was their solo project.” Provide a minimum of 1 full paragraph for each question: Based on this scenario, which leadership model best explains how the group responded to Jordan’s leadership, and why? Choose from: Functional Behavioral Model Fiedler’s Contingency Model Hershey-Blanchard Situational Model Communicative Competency Model Also, what type of power did Jordan use in this situation? Explain your answer.
