The Boomerang concept describes what relationship between bosses and workers?

• A. Workers resist bosses' authority.
• B. Bosses empower workers and workers respect/support/cooperate with bosses.
• C. Bosses micromanage to control outcomes.
• D. Workers leave for competitors.

Answer: (B)

The Boomerang concept centers on an empowering leadership style that creates a reciprocal relationship between bosses and workers. When a supervisor entrusts employees with meaningful responsibilities, provides the tools and authority they need, and supports their decisions, workers feel valued and motivated. In return, they show respect, actively support and cooperate with their supervisor, and align their efforts with the department’s goals. This positive cycle reinforces further empowerment and leads to better teamwork, communication, safety, and service delivery. The other dynamics described—workers resisting authority, bosses micromanaging, or workers leaving for competitors—reflect breakdowns in this relationship and don’t produce the cooperative, empowered interaction the Boomerang concept describes.
