    ACCA · Question 17 · Syllabus D: Leadership and management

    FarmTech is an agricultural technology firm. A project manager is currently focused on ensuring that the project deadline is met, while simultaneously organizing team-building exercises to resolve interpersonal conflicts, and providing one-on-one coaching to a struggling junior developer.

    Which leadership model is this project manager actively applying?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    B.

    John Adair's Action-Centred Leadership

    C.

    Blake and Mouton's Managerial Grid

    D.

    Fiedler's Contingency Theory

    How to approach this question

    Identify the three distinct areas the manager is focusing on: the deadline (Task), team-building (Team), and one-on-one coaching (Individual).

    Full Answer

    B.John Adair's Action-Centred Leadership✓ Correct
    John Adair's Action-Centred Leadership model is represented by three overlapping circles: Achieving the Task, Building and Maintaining the Team, and Developing the Individual. Effective leaders must balance all three areas.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting Blake and Mouton. While similar, Blake and Mouton only have two dimensions (People and Production), whereas Adair explicitly separates the Team from the Individual.
