'Collaborate, communicate, XXXX and coerce'. Select the missing term.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

'Collaborate, communicate, direct and coerce.'

Methods of communicating change. These terms are taken directly from your syllabus for this sub-ject, and reflect a decreasingly co-operative approach to communicating / implementing change.

Managers can decide where they wish to be on this spectrum of behaviours, rather like McGregor suggests with Theory X and Y.

"Decide" makes sense too, but I lean towards "Consult".

Wait, "Dictate"? Really? That seems off.

"Consult" seems like a good choice, but I keep second-guessing myself. I wish I had reviewed more examples!

I remember practicing with terms like "Dictate" and "Decide," but I can't recall which one fits best here.

I'm not sure, but "Direct" sounds familiar. I feel like I saw a similar question about leadership styles.

I think the missing term might be "Consult," since it fits well with the idea of collaboration and communication.

I feel pretty good about this one. The pattern seems to be collaborative words, so the missing term is probably something like "Consult" that involves working with others. I'm going to go with that.

Okay, let's see. The other words are all about working together and taking charge, so I'm guessing the missing term is also going to be something related to leadership or decision-making. I'm leaning towards "Direct" as the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The missing term needs to be an action verb like the others, but I'm not totally confident which one is the best fit. I'll have to think it through.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm going to carefully read through the options and think about which one best fits the pattern of the other words.

Ooh, 'Decide'? I'd love to see the person who decided that was the correct answer. Maybe they're the same one who thought 'coerce' was a good team-building exercise.

Haha, 'Dictate'? That's like the anti-thesis of collaboration. This is a no-brainer, folks. The answer is 'Consult'.

Yeah, 'Dictate' goes against the whole idea of collaboration. 'Consult' is the way to go.
