Answer 1

The answer to the following question is C. Balanced processing

This is due to the fact that balanced processing is a part of authentic leadership where we see that an effective leader essentially asks for opposing vidwpoi ts before choosing the best course of action while not having impulse be the factor that guides the action, and having no hidden agendas.

We know his leadership isn't stewardship/temporary. He is self aware but that does not explain outside circumstances and he is not using persuasion as a strategy.
