Passive behavior known as laissez faisre leadership- This form of leadership takes place when the leader do not have enough leadership skills. The leader sits in the background and donot engage with staff until they are forced to engage. For example serious work problems with staff.
Situational leadership approach Looking at the situation there are different ways to handle a situation based on the situation.
These two contiengency approaches do not believe that leaderships on a trait or ones behavior. They believe that it is the situation that occurs that would later give them a face value situation to handle. That’s when they would know what step to take.

The use of an transformational leader is to get people to believe in taking care of the organization and its goals that need to be set fourth versus making sure their own interest is put first. They do this by encouraging their workers to be exceptional and loyal which that brings on the best in the company. Providing results and accomplish high exceptional goals.

So they may give them an agenda and short goals. That are realistic. Second key is influence them to trust in what the company say they will do. That happens by being consistent in having confidences with high standards. Encouraging them to grow by challenging the workers to think more outside the box. Allowing them to be more responsible with training that would add more skills and growth to them. Fourth key is stimulating the workers to have a new found purpose.
