After researching Fiedler’s Contingency Model, leadership is defined through a rated scale called the ‘Least-Preferred Co-Worker Scale’. As a person involved with the leader, whether work related or education related, they take scaled test, based on a 1-8 level of feelings about the other person, and add up the numbers at the end. The higher the number, the more enjoyable you are to work with, defining you as a high-LPC leader, or otherwise defined as relationship-motivated.
