    Eduncle Best Answer

    (a)    Telling style of leadership is where you provide a lot of direction with little to no support. Essentially it's more a management technique than a leadership style, because there's no real leadership involved at all. So its behaviour is high task and low leadership.
    (b)    Selling style is where you provide a lot of direction, but also a lot of support. This style of leadership is best used when the final decision is outside the control of the people on your team, but you want them to feel empowered and excited about the decision. So its behaviour is high task and high relationship.
    (c)    The consulting style consists of two skills: promoting a problem-solving way of thinking amongst workers, and using a consultative attitude when confronted with problems, choosing which goal will be the target in a specific situation. So its behaviour is high relationship and low task.
    (d)    Delegating style is the ultimate form of leadership and involves you providing very little direction and very little support in regards to decision making. You should only employ the "delegate" leadership style if you're completely comfortable with the person who will be responsible for making the final decision. So its behaviour is low relationship and low task.
