Solution
Answer
The answer is False
Explanation
Option 1: True
This option suggests that leaders focus on the "how" and "when," while managers focus on the "what" and "why." However, this is not typically accurate. Leaders are generally more concerned with vision, direction, and purpose, which aligns more with the "what" and "why" questions. They seek to inspire and motivate by understanding the broader context and purpose of actions.
Option 2: False
This option correctly identifies that leaders tend to ask "what" and "why" questions. Leaders are often focused on setting the vision and understanding the purpose behind actions, which involves asking "what" needs to be achieved and "why" it is important. Managers, on the other hand, are more concerned with the implementation and execution, which involves asking "how" to achieve the goals and "when" tasks need to be completed. Therefore, the statement is false.
