Explanation
★Mary Parker Follett analysed leadership in terms of circular response, so that is the answer.
★Circular response captures the two-way, dynamic interaction between leader and followers.
★Each party constantly responds to and reshapes the behaviour of the other.
★For Follett leadership is not command from above but a shared, evolving relationship.
★This links to her ideas of integration and the law of the situation.
★L. Urwick and C. I. Barnard worked on principles and the functions of the executive, not this concept.
★H. Simon focused on decision-making, so he is not the source of circular response.
