Now, plot your scores on the diagram on your paper.
When under pressure, such leaders revert to their preferred style and become
progressively more and more autocratic in approach, as pressure increases. This in
turn, can lead to a negative response from work group members.
People may still follow such leaders by virtue of the power they have due to their
position in the organisation. However, it is unlikely that work group members will
like or respect such a leader, and they would be unlikely to remain willing
followers if it weren't for the leader's position in the hierarchy.

When under pressure, such leaders often become increasingly preoccupied with
the impact of the pressure on their team and have difculty focussing on the
tasks to be achieved. They can be perceived by their work group as "ditherers",
ineffective and lacking direction.
Leaders with styles heavily biased towards concern for people can improve their
effectiveness by increasing their task focus through the use of direction setting
techniques such as goal setting, planning, delegation, feedback and control.
