John is a new employee at International Widget. Having studied human relations, he's eager to understand the supervisory style employed by his immediate supervisor. Which of the following is not especially important to John's insight?

AHis supervisor's flexibility on work guidelines
BWhether his supervisor enjoys particular sports or hobbies
CThe extent to which he (John) is expected to work independently
DWhether his supervisor is more concerned about short-term or long-term work goals

The correct option is B. In order for John to understand the supervisory style employed by his immediate supervisor, he does not needs to know the type of sport that his supervisor enjoys, for that particular information is not related to how the supervisor expects John to handle office work. The other statements are John's job related and they are good means of getting insight into the supervisory style of a supervisor.
