To ensure I function as an effective leader, I need to observe and reflect on key leadership theories and models. I believe that situational leadership theory, path-goal leadership theory, and Vroom and Yetton's normative decision-making model can help me achieve this high-quality leadership that I seek. These theories and models are not without flaws, but studies have shown that they provide some level of effectiveness. Further reflection on each will help determine which theory/model or which combination of these theories and models will give me the best results. Situational leadership theory interested me because of its adaptive nature. I firmly believe that to be an effective leader you expect something different. It draws its foundation from the expectancy theory of motivation which states that employees strive to produce high levels of performance that are rewarded with something they find worthwhile, a theory I agree with for the most part. part. It's this money-back promise that keeps them motivated. As a leader, this theory states that I must ensure that these conditions are met, in order to keep employees motivated and satisfied. It also lists four leadership styles: directive, supportive, participative and results-oriented. Each style should be applied to different situations. I like the fact that this theory takes into account that different situations should be approached using different leadership styles. However, I find that this theory focuses too much on the leader and less on the employees: it assumes that groups must be led because "they don't know what is good for them" (Leadership-central, asks the leader to ask himself whether high or low rate, the path they take helps decide what course of action should be taken: should they decide consult individually, consult as a group, facilitate or delegate? Although, offering leaders decisions ranging from more authoritative approaches to more democratic approaches seems complicated, once understood It is simple to follow. It takes into account the competence of the group and you as a leader. However, the model takes into account the size of the group in different ways due to the specific complexities and challenges they can present account of the psyche and emotions of the participants. Nonetheless, it has research to back it up
