Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The contingency theory of leadership states that effective leadership is contingent upon the situation at hand. Essentially, it depends on whether an individual’s leadership style befits the situation. According to this theory, someone can be an effective leader in one circumstance and an ineffective leader in another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Situational theories of leadership work on the assumption that the most effective style of leadership changes from situation to situation. To be most effective and successful, a leader must be able to adapt his style and approach to diverse circumstances.

Detailed explanation-3: -The contingency approach to management, also known as the situational approach, holds that there is no single, textbook rule for the best way to manage an organization. In each company’s case, the “best” approach will be contingent upon the company’s internal and external needs.
