For this paper, review the article by Fernandez, Cho, and Perry in the Learning Resources. Consider some of the strengths and limitations of situational leadership presented in the article. Then, select a leader with whom you are familiar and a situation or event in which the leader was involved. Think about how the Hersey and Blanchard Model of situational leadership applies to the leader and situation you selected.

As pressures and demands for more standardized business structures fluctuate in society, leaders may experience challenges in developing consistent methods for solving public health problems. Though consistency may be necessary for enacting change, within many areas and localities, consistency may not be an option. As a result, a leader must be able to use a systems thinking approach to evaluate the best method for leadership contingent upon the circumstance.

For this Paper, select a current event related to public health and leadership. With the event you selected, apply Fiedler’s Contingency Model. Consider the actions and interactions between leaders and subordinates with the application of this model.

Write a brief description of the event you selected. Then explain whether the leader’s interaction with his or her subordinates was task-motivated or relationship-motivated. Justify your answer based on Fiedler’s Contingency Model.

Explain any insights you have gained about the relationship between a leader’s interactions with subordinates and Fiedler’s Contingency Model. Then explain how you might integrate those insights into your role as a current or future public health leader.
