The first extensive contingency leadership model was pioneered by Fred Fiedler. This model is based on the idea that effective group performance is a function of leadership style and environment characteristics. Fiedler proposed that there is an interaction between leadership style and the particular organizational situations. The basic idea is to match the leader’s style with the situation most favorable for his or her effectiveness. Therefore, the key was to define those leadership styles and different types of situations and decide the appropriate combinations of style.
