a. True.
b. False.

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

Fiedler used to believe that the individuals or the leaders have a assertive or natural management or leadership style which is mostly defiant to the change. Under Fiedler Contingency Model, the leadership style is characterized as either relationship-motivated or task-motivated.

He also suggested that it would be better if the organization moves the individual to a better circumstance instead of changing his/her leadership style.
