A basic assumption of the SLII is that employees’ skills and motivation vary over time. Do you agree? Can you think of any exceptions? Does the SLII fit all work situations equally well?
What will be an ideal response?
One exception might be employees who do the same task day after day and whose skills remain constant, like long-term factory workers. Motivation may or may not vary in this scenario. The SLII might be hard to implement when a leader has many subordinates. It may also be less useful than other leadership approaches in a small office where employees have worked together for years and have routinized jobs. Since the tasks and employees are the same, there's not much need to adapt one's leadership style, as long as it's already effective.
