Given the State of Flux and Change or Their Different

Question 1

Multiple Choice

Given the state of flux and change or their different cultures and differing needs, modern organisations find it impossible to predict the future environment. Yet Trait Theory suggests that it asks us to focus upon the personality of the leader, regardless of the circumstance.
How best might Trait Theory be used in modern organisations?


A) Trait Theory can be used to ensure that companies identify the best potential future leaders who are able to cope with the varying contexts that the organisations may find themselves faced with in future.
B) Trait Theory can be used to pragmatically allow companies to recruit to a template. It does not predict future leadership success but having a 'model recruit' can guide a company.
C) Traits can be amended to reflect the traits of women leaders and therefore they can address the future needs of the organisation through female leadership.
D) By developing the coaching and development strategies for leaders which are recruited at entry to the organisation by using Trait Theory, in recognition of new or fresh talent, all future organisational needs in changing contexts can be addressed as leaders exert their skills.
