There are several situations in which I have used my leadership style in my personal
and professional life. Situational leadership is an adaptive leadership style that encourages the
leaders to take stock of their team members, weigh the many variables and chose the
leadership intents that best suit the goals and objectives of organization. Situation leadership
is the model which is more of the factors which considers employee’s development,
identifying local and national factors of business for the betterment of organization (Renko, et
al. 2015).
Contemporary leadership situation
Throughout my life, I have faced various problems and issues in my life. My last job
was in Lucky Café in which I was appointed as line manager to navigate employees to
perfume their tasks in easy and determined approach. During my time in that company, I
observed that I was very good in convincing employees in effective manner. I consider that
when employees are given work in team then at that time they are most probable to face
conflict with each other. In one of the situation, when three employees are stuck in one
situation and were having three solutions to solve that problem, they had conflict with each
other. At that time, I realised that one of the employee was having the best solution to solve
that particular problem. I consider that options and convinced other employees with all the
pros and cons of that options. In the end, all of those employees were favourably agree with
that options and shown positive reply after understanding all the associated factors. This level
of my working made me realised that I could easily pursue others to do their work and found
that i have intent to influence other persons in positive manner (Bhatti, et al. 2012).

Action taken was appropriate and effective.
I was indulged in the whole conservation and analysed all the associated factors of
this case. I convinced all the associated factors and possible problems of the case and asked
employees to find the best possible course of action which we could take in this situation. On
the basis of situation, we all mutually found the solution and took the best decision (Mulki,
Caemmerer & Heggde, 2015). This action was the most appropriate for the betterment of the
organization.
Determine and discuss if the situational leadership approach would
be useful in understanding the leadership applied to the situation
The main action which I took was based on the way I convinced all the employees
and concerned person. The best action was to pursue them and tell them all the pros and cons
of the decision which were supposed to be taken in that particular problem. This leadership
style is called situation based in which employees or followers are influenced on the basis of
their internal and external factors. This situation leadership style has helped me to understand
all the value, belief, perception and associated factors of followers in effective manner. This
has helped me to understand the way which I used to influence followers for the right
decisions (Puni, Ofei,& Okoe, 2014).
Conclusion
After evaluating all the factors and leadership style, it is inferred that each and every
leadership style adopted by leader should be based on the situation and d factors of business.
If a leader could influence their follower in effective manner then it will increase the overall
productivity and efficiency of business. Now in end, it could be inferred that leadership style
is developed by leaders by following practical approach in personal and professional life
