![]() “Do you have any questions on the instructions we’ve just reviewed?”). Questions posed by the leader are typically focused on clarity (.e.g. The flow of communication is from the leader to the follower. The leader makes decisions surrounding the timely completion of the task and provides the follower with the benefit of his/her experience in that regard. Style 1 or a telling leadership style, is characterized by the leader using moderate to high amounts of Task Behavior and moderate to low amounts of Relationship Behavior.Relationship/Supportive Behavior – the extent to which the leader engages in open dialog with the follower, actively listens and provides recognition/reinforcement for task-related progress.Task/Directive Behavior – the extent to which the leader tells the follower what to do, how to do it, where it needs to be done and when it needs to be completed.Those styles are operationally defined by Task/Directive Behavior and Relationship/Supportive Behavior: ![]() Based on the objective assessment of those parameters, and with the responsibility of successfully and effectively influencing the follower, the leader responds to the situation with one of four leadership styles. Those situations are a function of the task that needs to be performed, in conjunction with the task-related ability and willingness of the follower identified to perform it. “Contingency-based” basically means the correct answer to the question:Ī Situational Leader employs one of four leadership styles that provide him or her with the highest probability of success in every situation they encounter.Unfortunately, “common sense” is anything but “common practice.”.Two points of clarification in that regard: I suggest possibilities of exploring a followership model where followership is the main factor upon which Empowerment for Sustainable Development (ESD) directly depends.Situational Leadership ® is a common-sense, contingency-based leadership model that consists of four common leadership styles. It is why some leadership theorists are considering feminine styles as more effective because they are prejudiced as natural followers. ![]() Followership remains the critical yet silent element that has caused the shift in focus from traits, behavior, and lastly, contingent leadership theories. This will not only strengthen democratic practices, but also offers more efficient and effective leadership methods. The argument is to transcend leadership models and switch to followership model for possibilities of achieving especially sustainable development. However, what if we considered followership first? Using literature review, a conceptual framework, and critical reflexivity as data source and analysis, this paper provides a new approach to understand challenges in Uganda. ![]() Leadership, as a habit of thinking, assumes the alpha and omega position for pursuance of sustainable development in Uganda. ![]()
