Jeffery David Whippo Discusses the Significance of Fiedler’s Contingency Model

 Being the Leadership Consultant, Jeffery David Whippo details the importance of Fiedler’s Contingency Model  He points that Fiedler classified three subelements in determining favorability  These sub-elements included leader-member relations, task structure, and position power  He considers the fact that when leaders rate leader-member relations high, they have the support of their followers and can therefore rely on their loyalty


He Considers the Benefits of Fiedler’s Contingency Theory of Leadership

 Jeffery believes that it provides a simple rule of thumb for identifying which leaders are best for which situations  It takes the situation into account in determining the effectiveness of a leader  This theory is all about leadership and it professes that the success of a leader depends upon their style of leadership and on the kind of control that exists in a situation


Whippo Shares that Fiedler’s Contingency Theory is a Type of Contingency Theory of Leadership

 In order to gain its better understanding, Jeffery David Whippo shares that it is necessary to develop a focus on a single aspect, at least, of the situation between the leader and the led  The theory also asserts that there are various factors that determine how successful the situation between the leader and the led will turn out  Fiedler’s model is simple enough that it can be used as a kind of rule of thumb in situations where academic rigor is unnecessary


Jeffery Shares that the Flexibility of this Theory adds to its Advantage

 Jeffery D Whippo states that you can use this theory in different situations that fit with a company's demands  That makes it much better than a more-rigid theory that tries to find one solution to fit with every problem
