Discussion 4a. Situational Leadership

It is a common response to think that we are flexible enough to be situational in our approach to leadership. But how much time do we really spend analyzing the level of the group and the complexity of the task and then choosing our approach?? Are we more likely to respond in one fashion to most groups and most tasks and then if/when the group fails, rethink our approach?? What do you think? A little honesty here .....?
