I think the situation dictates how a leader will react or even assert themselves. I think it is important for leaders to have the ability to adapt to different situations. One style will not work for everyone everywhere. People respond to things differently. A leader needs to observe the situation and understand how to be most effective. The answer may not always turn out to be what you think. It is quite possible that in some situations that a person who normally leads needs to be a follower.
I agree with Dan when he mentioned knowing the situation. It is more difficult to lead in a situation where you don't really know what's going on. This might be a case where one becomes a follower until they catch up to speed. We have already studied intelligence as a factor for leadership. We have recently studied that there are 2 types of intelligence. How can someone lead a group of people without knowledge in what they are leading them?
