present day society in order to accommodate all circumstances (Mumford, 2011). Groups
and people work their best when administrators and directors exhibit adaptable managing
styles (Mumford, 2011). The situational theory claims that for administrators to be really
effective, they should modify the way they manage their groups, to satisfy a couple of
considerations: How capable an individual or staff is with an assignment and the level of
experience of the job assigned in situational leadership theory is that leaders more or less

However, when the rapport between leaders and staff is at a struggling point,
the morale is lessened therefore job assignments are unsuccessfully accomplished and
leaders will not compensate nor reprimand in a suitable manner (Seyranian, 2012).
Situational leadership theory may complement educational leadership by
understanding that professor Fred Fiedler and leadership consultants Paul Hersey and
Kenneth H. Blanchard suggests that management is influenced by circumstantial
elements, for example chosen management methods and the inspiration of workers

action, the manager makes an effort to show the team that he or she must take control by
offering to societal as well as emotionally convince the group of that the leader should
