Foday, Hi, Effective leadership is getting people to follow you - not simply giving an task to someone, who might think stuff it... Effective leadership needs demonstration of skill, courage, knowledge of what and whom you are leading, Not waffling gaining support of those your are leadding having clear aims and goals, and a track-record of achieving outcomes. Well that's a start, it's a huge question and of course it is as you say Foday, 'Situational'. So being able to repond uniquely to anything that will effect performance and motivation of the team .... Hope useful
