Use what you’ve learned in the chapter to respond to the multiple choice mini-scenarios.   L. Woodside, Sunshine Snacks   L. Woodside has recently accepted the position of research and development director for Sunshine Snacks, a large snack food company. Woodside has been assistant director of research at Skid’s, a competing company, for several years, but it became clear to him that his chances of moving higher were slim. So, when Sunshine was looking for a new director, Woodside jumped at the chance.   At Skid’s, Woodside had worked his way up from the mail room, going to school at night to obtain first a bachelor’s degree and eventually a Ph.D. Management admired his drive and determination, as well as his ability to get along with just about anyone he came in contact with, and they gave him opportunities to work in various positions around the company over the years. That’s when he discovered he had a love for developing new products. He had been almost single-handedly responsible for introducing four new successful product lines at Skid’s. Woodside’s technical knowledge and understanding of the needs of the research and development department were excellent. In addition, he was a tireless worker—when he started a project, he rarely rested until it was finished, and finished well.   Despite his ambition and his hard-charging approach to work, Woodside was considered an easy-going fellow. He liked to talk and joke around, and whenever anyone had a problem they’d come to Woodside rather than go to the director. Woodside was always willing to listen to a research assistant’s personal problems. Besides that, he would often stay late or come in on weekends to finish an assistant’s work if the employee was having problems at home or difficulty with a particular project. Woodside knew the director was a hard taskmaster, and he didn’t want anyone getting into trouble over things they couldn’t help. In fact, he’d been covering the mistakes of George, an employee who had a drinking problem, ever since he’d been appointed assistant director. Well, George was on his own now. Woodside had his own career to think about, and the position at Sunshine was his chance to finally lead a department rather than play second fiddle.   At Sunshine, Woodside is replacing Henry Meade, who has been the director for almost 30 years. However, it seems clear that Meade has been slowing down over the past few years, turning more and more of his work over to his assistant, Harmon Davis. When Woodside was first introduced to the people in the research department at Sunshine, he sensed not only a loyalty to Davis, who’d been passed over for the top job because of his lack of technical knowledge, but also an undercurrent of resistance to his own selection as the new director.   Woodside knows he needs to build good relationships with the team, and especially with Davis, quickly. The company has made it clear that it wants the department to initiate several new projects as soon as possible. One reason they selected Woodside for the job was his successful track record with new product development at Skid’s.   Question: D.L. Woodside shows concern for the personal needs of his followers and helps them with work wherever required. He inspires his employees to work with enthusiasm and assigns projects with reasonable timelines. He also defines job responsibilities, sets targets, and inspects quality of work on a regular basis. Woodside’s behavior implies that he is most likely a(n):

Which leadership style would most likely result in low employee satisfaction when used in a situation where followers are already highly competent and self-motivated?
