Fiedler's contingency model of leadership effectiveness proposes that leadership styles depend on the leader's perception of the situation and the leader's least preferred coworker (LPC). The LPC scale measures the leader's personal orientation towards people or tasks. Leaders who rate their LPC positively, indicating a strong people orientation, are considered relationship-oriented. In contrast, leaders who rate their LPC negatively, indicating a strong task orientation, are considered task-oriented. Therefore, the instrument assessing the leader's LPC is the best measure of leadership styles in Fiedler's model.
