Albrecht & Associates Model Concept
Albrecht & Associates Model is a leadership evaluation model proposed by Albrecht & Associates, North American consultant specialized in the effectiveness improvement through organizational development. The model bases on the assumption that the leadership style depends from four factors: share of goals, team work, independence (or delegation level) and reward. This model uses a mold (Leadership Factors Mold) where is summarized a group of common behaviors for each factor, placing them between the reduced significance and high significance level.
