    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using the same type of leadership as the previous company officer may not always be the best approach for a new company officer. Each officer has their own unique leadership style and strengths, and it is important for the new officer to assess the needs of the unit and adapt their leadership style accordingly. What worked for the previous officer may not necessarily work for the new officer, as the unit and its dynamics may have changed. Therefore, it is important for the new officer to bring their own leadership style and make necessary adjustments based on the specific needs of the unit.
