    A. Servant as a leader, or more conceptually of a leader having the duty to serve his or her followers
    Explanation
    Servant leadership refers to a leadership style where the leader prioritizes the needs and well-being of their followers. It involves a leader who sees themselves as a servant to their followers, rather than someone who holds power over them. This style of leadership emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a focus on helping others grow and succeed. The leader takes on the responsibility of serving their followers and creating a positive and supportive work environment. This approach can lead to increased trust, collaboration, and employee satisfaction.

This theory emphasizes the importance of adapting leadership styles and practices to fit the needs of different situations, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, the statement "Contingency theory is concerned with styles and situations" is true.

In-group members receive more attention, support, and opportunities for growth from the leader, while out-group members have limited access to these benefits.
