a. Telling
b. Delegating
c Forcing
d. Participating Selling

Answer 1

B. Delegating

Step-by-step explanation:

Delegating refers to the situation whereby an entity is assigned the authority or given the leeway in carrying out specific job task. Before an individual is delegated to carrying out an assignment, he or she must have shown competence in completing such task in the past. In this scenario, it is believed that Ryan's workers are highly ready based on their ability to perform their job. Thus, Ryan could decide to carry out delegation style of leadership since the workers are highly ready.
