path-goal theory

Path-Goal Theory is a leadership framework that focuses on how leaders can help their team members achieve goals. It suggests that leaders should identify the needs of their followers and adjust their style—such as being supportive, directive, or participative—to remove obstacles and provide direction. By doing so, leaders can motivate their team, boost confidence, and enhance performance. Essentially, the theory emphasizes that a leader's role is to create a clear path toward success while considering the individual needs and expectations of team members.
