Reflect on the prior bosses, coaches, teachers, etc. where you served as a follower. Identify a person for each supportive style, directive style, participative style, and achievement oriented style according to the path-goal theory. Four different individuals need to be identified and partnered with one of the four styles. Which style did you find most effective as a follower? For example, Professor Spector taught medieval literature and based the classes on discussion and teacher-student interaction. She used the supportive style; My high school Latin teacher gave long, translation assignments every night. He used the directive style. I found that Professor Spector’s style was more effective as it provided us an opportunity to truly learn the information.
