In this model of co-leadership the more experienced leader takes charge of the group

• A. Apprenticed
• B. Co-ordinated
• C. Shared
• D. Delegated

Answer: (A)

In this co-leadership approach, the focus is on one leader guiding and teaching the other as the group operates. The more experienced leader takes charge of leading the session, modeling how to set norms, manage group dynamics, and drive the process, while the less experienced co-leader observes and learns. Over time, the apprentice steps into more responsibilities as their competence grows. This mentoring dynamic is what characterizes the apprenticed model.

Why this fits best: the key idea is that leadership is developmental—one person leads now to develop the other’s skills for future leadership. The other options describe different ways of sharing power without that explicit mentorship and staged responsibility. Co-ordinated or shared leadership suggests both leaders operate in tandem from the start, with equal control, not the one-way learning relationship. Delegated implies the experienced leader simply assigns tasks to the other, rather than ongoing guidance and gradual taking of lead roles.
