looked at other factors influencing style of leadership than just situation and decided there should be balance of all
factors
group
situation
leader
once assessing these factors the leader decides on behaviour
3 behaviours
actual behaviour
matches to both situation and group demands
preferred behaviour
matches demands of the group
required behaviour
result of what situation demands
if actual behaviour is chosen and correct then results in better performance group satisfaction

if situational factors are in the middle then person-orientated (democratic) is best suited
