Leadership plays a major role in managing the human resources of the organization
and also facilitate the business functioning. Du to this, it is important for the leader
of the organization to adjust his leadership style according to the situation to ensure
growth and development of the subordinates and followers, i.e., the employees of
the organization. The main aim of the situational leadership is to influence the
employees by adjusting to the present condition and adopt a leadership style that
can be suitable for improving the level of growth and development of the
employees within the workplace (McCleskey 2014). This kind of leadership style
allows the leader or manager of the organization to change the leadership and
working style whenever required, furthermore, ensure meeting the needs of people
within the workplace according to the current situation. The situational leadership
style is a top down approach to leadership and has often been facilitated with the
leader making effective decisions to manage change though allowing the team
members to follow what the leader want to do. The leader has been associated with
the coaching of employees and delegating the right tasks to the employees based on
their skills and areas of interests, which could make them perform to their potential
for accomplishing the tasks quickly and effectively (Giltinane 2013).
