Having said this, the methodology applied here was case study and data collection was made with the use of the following qualitative tools: semi-structured interviews and observation. The present research was conducted at “Company X” and the individuals chosen for the study were leaders from this mentioned organization. The results obtained seem to indicate that in order to be a situational leader it is not fundamental to have conceptual knowledge of the topic. However, it is essential that this is aligned with contemporary practices. It is a leader’s responsibility to diagnosticate, make it flexible and to establish partnership to improve performance and to develop self-directed teams of high performance.
