1. How would you characterize Rankin’s leadership style?

compliant managers have a strong focus on good planning and
successful completion of tasks. They place little emphasis on
relationships, motivation or communication with their subordinates.

personal relationship he is not doing well. Rankin wants the teams
to finish their work in a short period of time and do not care too
much that they work many hours a day, they barely have time for
family. He just wants the project to be done.
- In this particular situation, Rankin should rebuild teamwork and get
them motivated as well as take an interactive leadership approach.
Rankin may be self-disciplined, but he could be more positive
about the way he leads. If co-workers see his positive attitude,
they may catch on.
