Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Situational leadership theory proposes that the best leadership style depends on the situation at hand. In this case, during a fire drill, a more assertive and directive style may be needed to ensure staff safety. This type of situational leadership is dependent on the relationship between the leader and followers and the type of behavior exhibited by the leader. It does not necessarily depend on the maturity or training of the followers, or the leader's ability to evaluate personnel.
