Contingency theories
Contingency theories focus on the variables that will be reflected in the environment and thus determine the best leadership style for the situation.
Is an essential part of this theory, that it is not the "one" style of leadership, but needs to be adjusted respectively, to the situations, Environmental conditions and relations in this environment.
The success of leadership lies in recognizing the variables, which are held by the employees and their qualities as well as the relevant aspects of the situation surrounding.
The danger is, that today “Hü” and tomorrow “hott” says. The challenge is, confidence- and to be credible, the much-quoted slogan of authenticity is relevant here. We forget too often, is that trust in a leader and the leader in its employees are the key.
