Leadership is a complex process that requires leaders to critically appraise the circumstances in which

they find themselves to best determine how to lead and influence those around them. There are

multiple tactics a leader can employ in any given circumstance to influence a situation or their followers.

influence situations or people? Which tactics were successful? Which tactics were not successful? As a

leader, how can you critically appraise situations to make sure you select appropriate tactics for

influencing a given situation?
