    ACCA · Question 17 · Leadership and management

    A team of deep-sea explorers is mapping a newly discovered trench. The expedition leader ensures that the sonar equipment is functioning perfectly, resolves a personal dispute between two marine biologists, and praises the lead pilot for a difficult maneuver. According to John Adair's Action-Centred Leadership model, which of the three core responsibilities did the leader fulfill by resolving the dispute?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Achieving the task

    B.

    Developing the individual

    C.

    Maintaining the team

    D.

    Delegating authority

    How to approach this question

    Map the leader's actions to Adair's three circles: Task, Team, Individual. Resolving a dispute between members is about group cohesion (Team).

    Full Answer

    C.Maintaining the team✓ Correct
    Adair's Action-Centred Leadership involves three overlapping circles: Task, Team, and Individual. Resolving conflicts and building group morale falls strictly under 'Maintaining the team'.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing 'Developing the individual' with 'Maintaining the team'. Interpersonal disputes affect the whole group's dynamic.
