Path- goal Theory
The idea of path-goal is the belief that leaders need to clarify the path to help followers get from where they are to the achievement of the necessary goal by reducing �road blocks�. It is the leader�s job to assist followers to achieve goals, and to provide direction and support to ensure that goals are compatible with the overall organisational objectives.[1] To do this the leader must choose a compatible style which will take account of the environmental contingency factors and the followers� contingency factors to achieve the necessary outcomes. This is shown in the figure below. |
