Which set correctly lists the possible outcomes of leader-employee interactions?

• A. Win/Win, Win/Lose, Lose/Win, Lose/Lose
• B. High performance, Moderate performance, Low performance, No performance
• C. Scheduled, Unscheduled, Delayed, Cancelled
• D. The four outcomes are Win/Win, Win/Lose, Lose/Win, Lose/Lose

Answer: (D)

In leader-employee interactions, think of the result as two sides of a coin: each party can come out ahead or not. The possible outcomes are determined by whether the leader gains (Win) or loses (Lose) and whether the employee gains (Win) or loses (Lose). Put together, there are four possible pairings: both benefit, only the leader benefits, only the employee benefits, or neither benefits. This exactly matches the set that lists Win/Win, Win/Lose, Lose/Win, and Lose/Lose. The other options describe unrelated categories (like performance levels or scheduling status) and don’t capture the outcomes of the interaction itself.
