Summary of Fiedler Contingency Theory of Leadership
The video discusses the Fiedler Contingency Theory of Leadership, which states that there is no one best leadership style, and the effectiveness of a leader depends on how well their style fits the situation. The theory is based on two main factors: leadership styles and situational favorableness. Leadership styles are categorized into relationship-oriented and task-oriented leaders based on a test called LPC. Situational favorableness is determined by leader-member relationship, task structure, and positional power. The video explains how to apply the theory in real business situations using a diagram that shows different levels of favorableness. In favorable and unfavorable situations, task-oriented leaders perform better, while in moderate situations, relationship-oriented leaders are more effective.
