	a)	transactional leadership.
b)		transformational leadership.
c)		bureaucratic leadership.
d)		autocratic leadership.
e)		laissez-faire leadership. *

Answer 1

1. This is a work incentive. Incentives are generally payments/benefits you get in lieu of your performance.

Employee turnover is employees quitting. Equal opportunity requirements deal with discrimination at workplace.

Work performance is your performance (productivty) at work and projected performance is expected performance.

2. This is an example of transformational leadership. Dalai Lama as a leader has created a vision which his folllowers follow.

There is no force or coercion, hence option a,c and d are ruled out. laissez-faire leadership is ruled out as there is guidance that comes from Dalai Lama to followers. In Laissez-faire there is very little guidance.
