Leadership Practices: Behavioral and Situational Approaches

Review the overviews on the behavioral and situational approaches to leadership in your textbook. In contrast to the trait or skills approaches (which could be described as more internally driven practices), behavioral and situational approaches might be identified more with externally driven practices. In your initial post, describe some key elements identified in studies of behavioral approaches to leadership. How do the key elements of behavioral approaches to leadership compare to key elements of situational leadership? Be sure to cite your textbook or other sources about these leadership approaches.
