One theory I disagreed with was that of Frederick Fiedler. Through Fiedler 's theory, leaders are asked to think of their least preferred co-worker and rate that person on a multitude of traits using the Least Preferred Coworker questionnaire. A scale from 1-8 with opposing traits on each side is used to calculate the leader 's LPC score. An example LPC questionnaire can be seen in the attachment (Northouse, 2013).
