Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best leadership style for this situation is autocratic, as there is a need for quick decision-making and a strong directive approach to address the company's financial crisis and efficiency issues. A democratic or team approach may slow down decision-making and not provide the necessary level of direction that is needed in a crisis. Servant leadership may not be effective in this situation, as the focus on employee well-being may not be feasible when the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.
