Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become
recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family traditional cultural patterns
confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more
persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger
groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have
failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of "natural leaders". It seems that there
is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be
recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests
that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental
leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look
to instrumental leaders to "get things done." Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that
emphasizes
the collective well-beings of a social group's members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the
overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to
minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable
relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They
give others and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group's goals. Expressive
leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy
when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline,
are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the
group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal
affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may
enjoy a more distant respect.
