Teaching Leadership Theory: Reconsidering the Situational View

Abstract

All of us who have taught leadership to either our regular business students or to attendees in continuing education courses have probably covered the situational view of this “management function”. Both the basic management texts and the texts on organisational behaviour note the advantages of the situational view over the earlier trait and behavioural theories. Further, all the colleagues I have talked to seem to agree that the situational view is more valid, realistic, and practical than either of the earlier views.
