Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the fast-paced and high-pressure situation of a hockey game, an autocratic leadership style is more effective as it allows the coach to make quick decisions without consulting the team, while still maintaining control and authority over the players. Charismatic leadership may not be as relevant in this scenario, and participative and top-down leadership styles may not be suitable as they both involve some form of consultation or delegation of decision-making, which may not be feasible in the middle of a game.
