interaction between organisation and its environment. Further, it gives guidance to
manager to avoid problem and develop new strategy for achieving the task. This is also
having some issue like it focuses on the situation and does not focus on resources and
tools available for achieving target of the leader (Giacalone and Rosenfeld eds., 2013). Situational leadership style - This theory gives suggestion to not use only one type of
leadership. It defines that every leadership style is related according to the condition of

this that a leader maintains the coordination of special activities. In other hand it is do

impact on positive way like leader may be concentrate on end result of task . Such type
of leader do work only when then they have intelligence , experience and loyalty
employees. It is not help in rapidly increase productivity and group performance because
leader perform under system. (Grohar-Murray, DiCroce and Langan, 2016).

leader. It is distribution of leader according to characteristic, behaviour, skills,
capabilities etc. This concentrates on how the leader do work and what type of reaction
comes. A leader have good behaviour and attitude then they easily give direction of
employees as well as labour easily satisfy for work
