Describe each of Downs' styles of leadership
What will be an ideal response?
Climbers are ambitious and generally unethical people who use every opportunity to further their careers (i.e., they are Machiavellian). They actively recruit sponsors to help further themselves. Conservers essentially are bureaucrats who strive to maintain the status quo. They work themselves into a position with the organization, and they get comfortable by thoroughly understanding the tasks and policies associated with the position. Zealots, on the other hand, are organizational members with a mission. They generally have a narrow special interest and a great deal of energy, which they focus on that interest. They often neglect their duties as they focus almost exclusively on their crusade, sometimes so adamantly that they tend to antagonize others. Finally, advocates are those leaders who care only about their sphere of influence—their particular unit. When dealing with outsiders, they look at only what is good for their unit and seldom compromise even for the greater good. They are just as zealous as zealots, but rather than focusing on an issue, they focus on their domain.
