For ______ cultures, successful leaders should be supportive and paternalistic.

A) individualistic
B) collectivist
C) socialist
D) all of these

Collectivist cultures prioritize the needs and goals of the group over the needs and goals of the individual. In these cultures, successful leaders are expected to be supportive and act in a paternalistic manner, taking care of their subordinates like a parent would take care of a child. Individualistic cultures, on the other hand, value individual achievement and independence, and successful leaders are expected to be assertive and independent. The term "socialist" does not necessarily refer to a particular cultural orientation or approach to leadership.
