Path-goal ModelThe path-goal model is a leadership theory developed jointly by Martin Evans and Robert House. It states that a leader's function is to clear the path toward the goal of the group, by meeting the needs of subordinates. House defined four leadership styles: - Directive leadership - offering guidance
- Supportive leadership - showing concern
- Participative leadership - asking for consensus
- Achievement oriented leadership - demanding results
In contrast to the Fiedler contingency model, the path-goal model states that the four leadership styles are fluid, and that leaders can adopt any of the four depending on what the situation demands.
