, categories of leadership behaviors were identified. These two
categories are:
a) Task-oriented behaviors and people-oriented behaviors.

◉ A significant difference between Fiedler's Contingency Theory and
many of the other contingency leadership theories, including
Situational Leadership and House's Path-Goal Theory is that

Situational Leadership and House's Path-Goal Theory were proven to
be inaccurate.
b) Fiedler's Contingency Theory assumes that a leader's style is not
fixed and can change, while Situational Leadership and House's Path-
Goal Theory assumes a leader can not vary their style depending on
the situation.
