Answer 1

Answer:

Sawyer is a socialized charismatic leader.

Explanation:

In socialized charismatic leadership, leaders are people who truly work for the well-being of the organization and its employees in an altruistic manner. Such leaders are able to convey their values to employees in a non-confrontational way. Employees internalize those leaders' values and become engaged, working for their accomplishment. As we can see, Sawyer is one of those leaders. He believes in using his professional power for the welfare of the organization. His focus is not on personal gain, but on the well-being of the company and the employees. He also empowered his groups members to suggest ideas and made them accountable for their actions. Notice the use of empower instead of demand or force. That, along with making them responsible for their actions, shows Sawyer successfully conveyed his values. His group members will most likely work for the welfare of the organization as Sawyer does.
