week 7 - Situational approach

Under the "Grint's Classification of Leadership Theories," the text book talks about situational approach and describes it to be as path goal theory. I found this part interesting because the text book says that in this approach the focus is on leadership behaviors that can be performed by anyone and it even says that the essential features of the situation or context are identified and the most effective behavior can be determined. I am now very clear with this approach so please correct me if i am wrong, the meaning of this approach is that the leaders are chosen according to the situation. So does this mean that the leadership or leader changes based on the situation and the behavior of the employees?
