Contingency Approaches Chapter
to 02leadership: Fielder’s
Contingency Model

▪ Fiedler’s Contingency Model of Leadership is just

like Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership
Model part of Contingency or Situational
Approaches to Leadership. The model states that
there is no one best style of leadership (as
suggested by Behavioural Approaches to
Leadership like Blake and Mouton’s Managerial
Grid). Instead, a leader’s effectiveness is dependent
on (or contingent on, hence: Contingency Theory)
the situation. However, whereas Hersey and
Blanchard focused on the characteristics of
followers, Fiedler looked at more situational
elements in order to determine the appropriate
leadership style. Moreover, Fiedler believed that
people’s natural leadership styles are fixed and
cannot be changed (easily). The most effective way
to handle the situation is to change the leader itself
based on certain situational factors or to change
the situation to suit the leader.
