Explanation / Answer

The statement you do what I say the coercive type of control that a leader tends to have on his followers. It is by force you make your followers do what you want them to do. But this type of coercive power does not work for a long time. When your followers dont require anything from you, the coercive power does not work. They will not be under your control.

There is a focus on the part of the employees to do contribute for the purpose that needs to be achieved. When they are committed to a purpose they follow the operatinal procedures very deligently. Hence it could be concluded that they are committed for operations and they are focussed on it.

The path-goal theory is the one that puts the goals and the targets ahead of all other likes and dislikes of the individuals. Even if an individual does not want to perform an acitivity, it has to perform it, if it is good of the over all growth of the organization. Here the employee puts the organizational goals first ahead of everything else. The goal and the path to acheive that goal is very important.
