Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeffrey is a visionary leader because he has a specific vision for the future of his magazine and is inspiring his employees to work towards that goal. He is not seeking input from his employees or setting high standards for performance, which would classify him as a democratic or pacesetting leader, respectively. Additionally, he is not focusing on building relationships or promoting harmony within the group, which would be characteristic of an affiliative leader.
