Throughout her rein as Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher displayed characteristics of a situational leader. Instead of following a single style, Thatcher made her decisions based on each situation and what she thought was the best action to take. Thatcher’s situational leadership took the “telling” factor. Although Thatcher did listen to her staff and the people, in the end, every decision she made was based on what she personally thought was best. She was not interested in popularity. Thatcher also took a “delegating” approach in her leadership style. When she made her decisions, there was no negotiation. Her staff did what she instructed. She wanted to make a change and did what she believed to be right whether people liked this or not.
