Leader, Manager, or Teammate? Part II (Episode 1)

Thank you Tarek. We can now continue our discussion of the triple role an Apprentice contestant must play. Riley saw Tarek as a good leader, using his charisma to help his team bond and execute during the task; his failure was in his managerial skills, where he went forward with an ill-defined objective, and as a teammate, where he isolated Lenny, Summer, and Lee. Raluca disagreed with that assessment as she saw Tarek’s style as aggressive, performance driven, and driven primarily by group processes. Tarek’s style was in contrast to Allie’s Relational style of leadership.
