Whenever a new critical situation arises, leaders take on different handling techniques based on the leadership styles they are following and the nature of the situation. Leadership styles are not a concrete thing that has to be followed in a strict manner. Different types of critical situations may arise in the way of accomplishing the goal; however, it is not necessary to stick to a specific leadership style in all situations.
Based on the nature of the newly aroused situation, leaders need to be able to approach new techniques by adopting change in the leadership styles to adapt with the newer situation. This is how, with a changed approach in leadership styles brings change and influences leadership behavior.
Leadership skills are the building blocks of leadership behavior. There is a strong correlation between situations, personal values and organizational values, and how they influence leadership behavior. Leader’s personal values impressively influence not only on the values of the organization but also on the values of the individuals associated with that organization. According to Dr. Robert Rue, values play an important role in one’s decision making process. He opined that, “Values are the essence of who we are as human beings. Our values get us out of bed every morning, help us select the work we do, the company we keep, the relationships we build, and ultimately, the groups and organizations that we lead. Our values influence every decision and move we make, even to the point of how we choose to make our decisions” (Rue, 2001).
Personal values create an awareness of developing personal capabilities. While leading a group of people, leaders might become influenced by the personal values of the group members. This also affects the way a leader thinks about himself and his performance. Organizational values are closely connected and often influenced by the political, economical and social values. Change in political, economical and social values brings change in organizational values, thus influence the leader’s behavior towards his subordinates.
