One of the follower characteristics in path-goal theory is perception of ability. As perception of ability goes up, directive leadership should go down
Why is this? And what is the effect on the follower if directive leadership continues to be used?
What will be an ideal response?
When followers feel as if they know what they are doing, having a leader that tells them what to do and how to do it can feel punitive and redundant. Continuing to direct this follower may make them resentful of the leader and it could actually decrease their motivation, exactly the opposite of the focus of path-goal, which is to keep motivation of followers high.
