Fiedler recommends that organizations should concentrate on changing situations to fit their leaders, than changing (training) leaders to fit their situations. Thus, individuals who prefer task-oriented behavior will not benefit from training in human relations skills. The reverse also holds; relationship-oriented leaders will not respond to training to make them more task oriented. He also suggests that leaders can make changes that result in more favorable situations. Table 11.3 presents some of his suggestions for changing par- ticular situational factors. A practical application of Fiedler's contingency approach is the training program LEADER MATCH.25 Most training programs try to change the leader's personality to fit the situation, but this programmed learning system trains leaders to modify their leadership situation to fit their personalities. In LEADER MATCH, training participants read a work- hook, assess their preferred leadership style, discuss and analyze leadership situations, and evaluate their performance in analyzing the situations.
