Case Study 1- Sharing is performing
Answer to Question 1
Analysis of the Overall Issue or Problem in the Case
The main issue which has been noticed in the respective case study is related to the usage
of the autocratic leadership style of the Chancellor Nicholas Dirks. It was being seen that he
never involved his subordinates during the process of decision-making that led to the entire crash
of the College of Chemistry which was founded by him. In addition, it led to the replacement of
Nicholas Dirks with Carol T Christ and it impacted the morale of Nicholas Dirks in a negative
manner. There was no such offering of the professional ownership and it created the work culture
which was decided by the leader that was related to dependence of the subordinates on the
leaders who are present in the college (Harms et al. 2018). Therefore, the usage of the autocratic
leadership style was the main problem which was faced by the students in the college under the
leadership of Chancellor Nicholas Dirks and it affected their performance negatively.
Answer to Question 2
Evaluation of Appropriate Leadership Style Recommended in the Respective Situation
After the replacement of the Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, the new person who was being
appointed was Carol T Christ who tried to apply the democratic leadership approach. In the
respective situation, the usage of the transformational and democratic leadership styles are most
appropriate as it will be suitable for understanding the viewpoints of the different students and
the encouragement of the shared leadership is the main approach which is required (Tepper et al.
