Situational characteristics According to Fieldler, leadership style is an enduring characteristic ; managers cannot change their style, nor can they adopt different styles in different kinds of situations. With this in mind, Fieldler identified three situational characteristics that are important determinants of how favorable a situation is for leading: leader-member relations, task structure, and position power. When a situation is favorable for leading , it is relatively easy for a manager to influence subordinates so they perform at a high level and contribute to organization efficiently and effectiveness. In a situation unfavorable for leading , it is much more difficult for a manager to exert influence. ©McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. Authorized only for instructor use in the classroom.
