Situational Leadership Theory postulates that:
  1. Every leader must take control of the situation in which they are working at the onset of the project or they will ultimately lose control of it.
  2. The situation dictates what type of leader a person is rather than choosing or creating a leadership model to follow.
  3. There is no “right” way to lead; good leadership requires the leader to adapt to the situation in which they are working and to the personalities of the workers they are leading.
  4. Every situation can be controlled by a set standard of leadership conduct and the working environment and workplace manifestations of worker personalities can be managed.
Explanation
Answer: C - Situational Leadership Theory says that there is no single “right” way to lead; effective leaders must adapt to the situation in which they are working and to the personalities of the people they are leading. The personalities of workers and the collective personality all of the workers form together is the biggest variable in group work settings and the most difficult one to account for. Most people can be led effectively, but some require certain “handling” or may foster intra-group dynamics that must be accounted for in addition to the individuals themselves. The workers must be ready for leadership, and the ability of the leader to accommodate to them affects that.
