Full-Range Leadership
These are the three main elements of the Full-Range Leadership Model.
What are laissez-faire, transactional, and transformational leadership?
Kelley's followership model uses these two dimensions to classify followers.
What are independent critical thinking versus dependent uncritical thinking, and active versus passive participation?
These are the four stages of team growth, in order.
What are Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing?
Leaders establish expectations for these four main reasons.
What are identifying goals, providing a road map, linking standards to the unit mission, and minimizing confusion and stress?
One states an organization's present purpose and answers what/who; the other describes its desired future and answers why/how.
What are mission and vision, respectively?
Match the behavior: reward agreed performance; monitor and promptly correct deviations; wait until failure before intervening.
What are Contingent Reward, MBE-Active, and MBE-Passive?
These are Kelley's five basic styles of followership.
What are Sheep, Yes People, Survivors, Alienated Followers, and Effective Followers?
Match the leader role to each team stage: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing.
What are Director, Coach, Collaborator, and Visionary?
Name four of the six classroom guidelines for establishing expectations.
What are understand their importance; know when and where needed; communicate clearly; make the mission connection; seek buy-in; and track activities?
This method identifies strengths and weaknesses as internal factors and opportunities and threats as external factors
What is a SWOT analysis?
A leader asks Airmen to challenge assumptions, seek different perspectives, reframe old problems, and test new approaches without fear of criticism.
What is Intellectual Stimulation?
This follower is active and independent, thinks critically, anticipates needs, accepts responsibility, tells the truth, and raises concerns without undermining the leader.
What is an Effective Follower?
Conflict, impatience, arguments, and resistance to collaboration signal this stage. Name it and give two appropriate leader actions.
What is Storming - create open discussion, listen, seek input, encourage the team, and facilitate conflict resolution?
Put the continuous expectation-management cycle in order.
What is establish expectations; observe and identify performance gaps; adjust and set a new expectation; step back and observe?
These five leader techniques encourage continued action toward a vision.
What are get attention, articulate the vision, frame meaning, enable action, and reinforce action?
A commander promises recognition for meeting a goal, immediately corrects a safety deviation, communicates an optimistic vision, and privately coaches one Airman. Identify all four FRL behaviors.
What are Contingent Reward, MBE-Active, Inspirational Motivation, and Individualized Consideration?
One follower criticizes from the sidelines after past disappointments; another shifts styles and does only enough to survive. Identify both followership styles.
What are an Alienated Follower and a Survivor?
A team has reduced conflict, established norms, stronger commitment, and growing cooperation. Identify the stage and the leader role, then give two leader actions.
What are Norming and Collaborator - delegate responsibility, build confidence, and maximize members' strengths?
A supervisor tells an Airman, 'Improve your attitude and do better.' Diagnose the weaknesses and describe a better expectation.
What is an unclear expectation lacking behavior, standard, mission connection, understanding, buy-in, milestones, and tracking?
Classify and justify: 'We deliver ready forces today' versus 'A resilient force prepared to dominate tomorrow.'
What are a mission statement and a vision statement, respectively?
A new unit has an immediate safety problem, weak trust, and stagnant processes. Recommend an FRL blend for the urgent issue and long-term development - and name what to avoid.
What is MBE-Active for immediate safety, then CR for clear performance, plus II, IM, IS, and IC to build trust, purpose, innovation, and people - while avoiding laissez-faire and MBE-Passive?
A highly active follower executes every order but never questions one that conflicts with policy. Diagnose the style and explain how a leader can develop effective followership.
What is a Yes Person - developed by inviting critical thought and private disagreement, rewarding truthful input, assigning responsibility, and building psychological safety?
A proficient team has stable roles and solves problems independently. What should its leader do to sustain performance instead of pulling the team backward?
What is act as a Visionary by planning for the future, cultivating leadership talent, fostering new ideas, preserving feedback, and maintaining trust, communication, and cooperation?
After clearly setting a standard, a leader observes a performance gap. Apply the continuous expectation-management cycle through the next evaluation.
What is observe and identify the gap, adjust and communicate a new expectation, establish milestones and tracking, then step back, observe, and provide feedback?
A unit has skilled people, broken equipment, unused space, and a new external mission demand. Use the lesson framework to turn this information into sustained action.
What is classify the factors with SWOT, select mission-and-vision-linked priorities, get attention, articulate the vision, frame meaning, enable action, and reinforce action?
