2. Introduction
The situational theory of leadership suggests that no
single leadership style is best. Instead, it depends on which
type of leadership and strategies are best-suited to the task.
According to this theory, the most effective leaders are those
that are able to adapt their style to the situation and look at
cues such as the type of task, the nature of the group, and other
factors that might contribute to getting the job done.

Conclusion
Today’s society is all about equality and this type of leadership
can appeal to the millennial as they do not want to be told
what to do all the time.
If used right, can be very effective. I believe a mix of the four
decision making types depending on the task at hand can be
most effective because participative leadership is not always
the most efficient.
