Answer:

Explanation:

The concept of followers readiness can be explained as the extent to which a follower demonstrates the ability and the willingness to achieve a delegated task

In the context of the passage , Shawn's group is able but unwilling.

This means that they are likely to be resistant and hesitant , see performance as punishment , feel overwhelmed and prefer team work to individual work.

As the leadership style relies on the readiness from of the follower , a participating behavior will bets suit the Shawn's group readiness as they gain encouragement and motivation through the participation of the leaders in the task.
