In my opinion, the leadership style and behaviors which will be more effective for Coach Shirley is the participative. Getting the basketball team involved in the team concept would improve their understanding of the plays being made. As a participative leader, she should turn to the team for input, ideas and observations instead of making all of the decisions by herself. Participative leadership involves the entire basketball team. This leadership style enables the leader to work hand in hand with team members, which focus on building relationships and rapport.
