Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Understanding the feelings and viewpoints of subordinates can help leaders make more informed and inclusive decisions that take into account the needs and perspectives of those they lead, leading to more effective leadership overall. The other choices are not necessarily indicative of strong and effective leadership, as staying too much in control or delegating too many key decisions can limit innovation and collaboration. Formal information channels can be useful, but relying solely on them can also limit a leader's ability to see the big picture or get a sense of the more informal dynamics at play in their organization.
