Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "opportunity gap" refers to a situation where individuals' access to education and employment opportunities is limited, resulting in them being unable to advance to higher levels in organizations. This can be due to various factors, such as socioeconomic status, discrimination, or lack of resources. Conversely, the other answer choices are unrelated to the concept of individuals failing to advance due to education and skills gaps. The leadership grid deals with leadership styles, substitutes for leadership discusses how external factors can influence leadership effectiveness, and ethnocentrism refers to the tendency to view one's own culture as superior to others.
