The Fiedler contingency model propo

The Fiedler contingency model proposed that effective group performance depended upon properly matching the leader’s style and the amount of control and influence in the situation. The model was based on the premise that a certain leadership style would be most effective in different types of situations. The keys were to
(1) define those leadership styles and the different types of situations, and then
(2) identify the appropriate combinations of style and situation.
