Sample Solution

As a leader, which would you rather be? This question, when applied to a corporate management scenario, ushers in two underlying assumptions. The first is that to be feared means you are someone employees dislike because you are strict. The other is that to be loved means you are someone who people are comfortable with. Of course, most people want to be liked, so the answer may seem like a no-brainer. As a leader, I would aim to embody a blend of characteristics that touch on both fear and love. That way I would be able to apply the necessary qualities in various situations, where and when they are needed most.
