Question

a manager tells michael how to complete tasks and monitors him regularly, but also lets jim complete tasks freely. what control approach is this an example of? flexible control close control limited control direct control

Explanation:

Flexible control involves tailoring the level of control based on the individual. Here, the manager uses a more hands - on approach (telling how to complete tasks and monitoring) for Michael and a more autonomous approach (letting complete tasks freely) for Jim, which is characteristic of flexible control. Close control would mean a high level of supervision for all, limited control would be minimal supervision for all, and direct control is more about giving orders without flexibility.

Answer:

Flexible control
