Talon Has Just Been Promoted to a Leadership Position in a Pharmaceutical

Essay

Talon has just been promoted to a leadership position in a pharmaceutical sales force. Talon worked hard before he was a supervisor and is respected by most of the people he has ever dealt with professionally. Talon's boss has not really told Talon what he will be doing or what he is responsible for in this position, but tells him he will have to "figure it out once he gets in there." He also tells Talon to hold off on making any major decisions or reprimanding anyone without referring the situation to higher management. Discuss the three situational determinants in Fiedler's leadership theory that allow a leader to determine the favorableness or unfavorableness of a situation for leading, and discuss how they apply to Talon's situation.
