Robert House and Path Goal Theory [Situational Leadership]

Path-Goal Theory is a contingency model of leadership. Like other situational leadership models, the approach you take to leading is dependent on the situation. In this case, you look at the people you are leading and the nature of the task.

📝 LESSON NOTES
Path Goal Theory was articulated by Robert House in 1971, and then refined with Gary Dessler, in a 1974 article.
Their work was rooted in Victor Vroom’s Expectancy Theory of motivation - Here's a link to that model: • What is Victor Vroom's...
House identified four leadership behaviors, that we can select based on two main situational factors:
- Situational Factors
- Team Member Factors
The four types of leadership behavior should be deployed at different times, based on the situational and team member factors;
1. Directive Leadership
2. Supportive Leadership
3. Participative Leadership
4. Achievement-oriented Leadership

📚 RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.
So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:

Is it possible to give a small examples to explain the points? Because I have no experience in management...just a layperson....

[@ManagementCourses]

Which points do you need further explanation or examples on? I am happy to help if you can be more specific. This is part of a series of videos introducing basic theories and models, so I have aimed to keep them short and focused on how the models work.

[@ssmot113]

@@ManagementCourses every theory has some main points. The main points could be explained with simple examples(even if they're made up stories). I don't think it will consume much time....
