The situational factors or variables which dominate the effectiveness of leadership may be described as under •Leadership factors •Group factors •Other factors

SITUATIONAL THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP Leadership continuum: Robert Tannenbaum and Warren Schmidt have described various leadership styles and have placed leadership behaviour on a continuum having two extremes and many styles in between them. At one end of the continuum behaviour of the leader is authoritative while at the other end authority, power and influence structure moves towards subordinate and they get lot of freedom and participation in management.

CONTINGENCY THEORY The performance of a leader depends on two interrelated factors. •The degree to which situation gives a leader control and influence that is the likelihood that the leader can successfully accomplish the job •The leaders basic motivation that is whether leaders self esteem depends primarily on accomplishing the tasks or as having close supportive relations with others

PATH GOAL THEORY Advocates of path theory believe that managers need to rely contingently on the following different leadership styles •Directive style •Supportive style •Participative style •Achievement-oriented style

Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we will have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. _________________
