3.2.1 Future focus required
Though important development has been made in revising charismatic/transformational leadership, but there are number of areas which still required more attention and clarification. First, in spite of the significant and constructive contributions made by charismatic or transformational leadership in practice, inquiries continue as to what predicts charismatic or transformational leadership, or why some leaders involve in charismatic or transformational leadership style and others do not.

Instances of these definitions comprise flexible, adjustable, supple, and adaptable (e.g., Kaiser, Lindberg, & Craig, 2007; Pulakos, Arad, Donovan, & Plamondon, 2000). Flexible and adjustable leadership is essential when infrequent events disturb the work or make an abrupt problem that needs the leader’s devotion. On such type of circumstances, there is a big attention for leaders to switch from their previous style to situational behavior. In spite of situational leadership theory positivity, it brings some threats. Regular variations in the outside setting frequently make an emerging warning or chance for the organization. Instances comprise new contestants, new knowledge, social and educational modifications, new legal desires or administrative guidelines, variations in financial circumstances, and modifications in the desires and partialities of peoples. Successful adaptation to such changes frequently needs an advanced new plan rather than merely refining the current approach or using a prearranged possibility plan. Situational leadership fails in higher education when followers take the leader’s kindness, trust as a grant (Beer, 2001; Finkelstein,
