Describe the R1 and R2 stages of the life cycle theory of leadership, and identify the appropriate behaviors that should accompany each stage.
What will be an ideal response?
R1 refers to a group of employees who are working together for the first time and are eager to begin, but they lack the experience and confidence needed to perform their roles. Here the optimal combination of leader behaviors is telling-high initiating structure and low consideration-in which case the leader provides specific instructions and closely supervises performance. In the R2 stage, the members have begun working together and, as typically happens, are finding that their work is more difficult than they had anticipated. As eagerness turns to dissatisfaction, the optimal combination of leader behaviors is selling-high initiating structure and high consideration.
