"Dr. White, welcome to Doctors Without Borders," said Roscoe Blaine, Program Administrator. "I will serve as your organizational manager ‘in name only,' as we both know that I will not be providing much management, much less leadership, to your team in a foreign country. I'm confident, however, that you will not lack for leadership. After all, you will be working closely with several of your very experienced professional colleagues in an environment that demands the close cooperation of a tight-knit group. Furthermore, by policy, the rules and procedures that will govern your work are rigid, so your operating flexibility will be limited." In this case, Roscoe is counting upon ________ to provide a positive influence on Dr. White.
A. task-oriented behavior
B. day-to-day supervision
C. substitutes for leadership
