Fiedler's Contingency Theory

Improved Essays
No; Leadership traits back before the 1940s had a lot of relevancies; by then people were much more concern about some one's traits than the real leadership procedures one would comfortably exercise upon. After then the notion of leadership did change on a huge and significance step since people expected the tangible results from their leaders but not a mere traits and words. Leadership traits have come to fade over time as the leadership trait theories focus on the leader’s values and beliefs that are accorded to any leader in power. The personality of a leader, therefore, is greatly influenced by what the leader himself or herself believes in and that the kind and ways of a leader depends on personal traits. Back before the 1940s, leaders …show more content…
This kind of leadership keeps on changing over time as leaders and the people they lead keep on readjusting the situation.
According to me, the Fiedler’s contingency theory is more result oriented and better to practice to many leaders therein I, therefore, support it.

In making his speeches but the implementation failed him terribly. He had a charismatic kind of leadership, and this had to be seen.
A good example of such person is the who was more charismatic is Napoleon Bonaparte who once demanded gold and silver from those he conquered, then he passed it out to his soldiers as thanks, ensuring their loyalty.
A god example is the Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton. These individuals really exercised one kind of leadership to be admired by many and hence still found in our memories today.

I would love to talk much about the President, who had to show good leadership even if in times of war or terror. He was so effective since he heard the people and also practiced their will upon what difficult times arises. The real name is Peter Capell. In the Paths of Glory Movie.
To be honest enough here, Ethical Leadership can’t survive in this environment of bureaucratic systems. One of the best reason is that in ethical leadership, people expect fairness, trust, honesty, consideration and charisma. This listed elements cannot be exercised by the bureaucratic environment since people are used to legal voices of commands and rules to follow all the

    Washington also was very intelligent, and remained innovative with his tactics. You don't have to be a complete genius to become a leader, but you can't be giving advice and commanding your group if you don't even know what you're doing. Innovative thoughts and ideas also truly help, but it has to be useful, and beneficial for everyone in the group. Washington did an amazing job with this, creating an immunity to small pox at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary…

    George Washington, a prime example of what one regards to be a great leader. Dependable, communicative, and charismatic are all words that surface when asked to describe George Washington. Being an introvert, if I had to be as communicative or charismatic as Mr. Washington, I would be terror-stricken, but that does not mean that I am not an awe-inspiring leader like him. Our first president may have been a heroic leader, however, there are many other remarkable leaders that do not fit within that definition. Rosa Parks, a seamstress that has influenced millions of individuals through her actions alone without being as communicative as Mr. Washington.…

    “The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. That 's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born” (Bennis). Warren Bennis’s quote really opened my eyes as to why I chose George Washington as the overall best president during the antebellum period. Prior to becoming president, Washington gained leadership experience from being Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, from there he heavily impacted the methodology of the future presidents, in such a positive manner.…

    In my opinion I believe that George Washington was the greatest leader that we have read about so far. In 1754 he had a small fort the he called Fort Necessity and the Native Americans and the French defeated his fort, but he was still considered a hero because he had struck the first blow in the battle. He led his army through the cold winter at one of his most famous accomplishments, Valley Forge during the American Revolutionary War and though many people died of hunger and disease, the rest of his army still went on with him as their leader. Although he was not used to leading a larger group of soldiers, Washington still had such great leadership skills he was able to lead them. He made hard decisions during his time at Valley Forge and…

    If one ranks leaders on how well they led by example, surely one of our greatest leaders is none less than the 26th U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt. “Do as I say, not as I do” is a philosophy that many leaders take, however, this builds bitter resentment in the eyes of the people. The best leaders have always been ones who lead by example, showing their followers how its done, both speaking of ideals and showing them. Theodore Roosevelt led by example by working against big businesses that oppressed consumers, working for the betterment of himself, and fighting for what he believed in.…

    Leaders of the free world of America have almost all been great but there are two leaders that constantly stick out from the rest. They are John F Kennedy the man that united America against the common enemy of communism, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt who lead us out of the Great Depression, and World War Two these two men were quite similar and different, as John F Kennedy lead the world through a war of mystery and espionage, Franklin lead the world through a war of fire, death, and misery in which we arose to be the top apex predator.
