Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: C) Task needs, team maintenance needs and individual needs
Explanation
Adair's model shows three overlapping circles: achieving the task, building and maintaining the team, and developing the individual. The leader must attend to all three, adapting to the situation. Concern for production and people comes from Blake and Mouton, telling and selling from the Ashridge model, and physiological, safety and social needs from Maslow.
