What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but here are some examples that are likely comparisons:
Systems perspective--Students could apply a systems perspective to many of the later theories in the text or might see situational leadership as a “system” in which the leader adapts to the followers’ competence and commitment and then adjusts again in different situations (complicated, ever changing systems or tasks).
Biological perspective--path–goal theory related to follower characteristics; transformational, with the focus on change
Service orientation--servant leadership or authentic leadership both have strong leader behaviors that “serve others.”
Psychotherapy perspective--path-goal with focus on overcoming obstacles, transformational in having a supportive leader who navigates change.
