Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brooke is a directive leader as she lets subordinates know what's expected of them, schedules work to be done, and gives specific guidance on how to accomplish tasks. This aligns with House's path-goal theory, which suggests that directive leadership is effective when team members lack the knowledge or experience to complete tasks on their own.
