Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the Situational Leadership Approach, when an employee has mastered basic tasks but struggles with more challenging ones and shows signs of being disillusioned, the most appropriate leadership style is coaching. This involves providing guidance and support to help the employee develop the necessary skills and regain motivation. Delegating (A) is not appropriate as the employee is struggling with certain aspects of their job. Supporting (B) may not be sufficient as the employee needs more direct guidance. Directing (D) is not appropriate as the employee has already mastered basic tasks and may feel micromanaged.
