DISCUSSION
 The Contingency
Theory of leadership
The scenario in Profitel can be examined using the
contingency theory known as the Fiedler model.

Abstract 01 Abstract 02
 The Fiedler model
The Fiedler model proposes that leadership effectiveness depends on
the fit between the leader's style and the specific situational variables
 Leader-Member Relations
This dimension describes how much members respect, trust, and feel confident
in their leader. As an outsider, Lars Peeters might not have had great leader-
member relations when he first assumed leadership of Profitel. It's possible that
his aggressive deregulation and cost-cutting strategies further strained these
relationships. The low share price of the company raised concerns among the
board, indicating a lack of trust in his ability to lead.
 Task Structure
The degree of procedure or structure in job assignments is related to this
dimension. Profitel's circumstances included a complicated medley of
variables. On the one hand, the arrival of new wireless broadband technologies
raised the job structure and necessitated its structured implementation. On the
other hand, the lack of evaluation of alternative technologies and the declining
customer satisfaction suggest that the task structure was not effectively
managed.
 Position Power
Position power pertains to the degree of influence a leader has over power
variables such as hiring, firing, promotions, and salary increases. Lars
Peeters had significant power as the CEO, but his approach to pressure the
government for deregulation and his overconfidence may have backfired,
affecting the company's relationship with government leaders and customers
negatively.
