4. True or false, the core foundation of the situational leadership model is the belief that there is no single "best" approach to leadership. Instead, effective leadership is viewed as task-relevant.

Explanation

The situational leadership model is based on the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. Instead, effective leadership is seen as being dependent on the specific situation and the tasks at hand. This means that leaders need to adapt their approach and style based on the needs and readiness of their followers. By recognizing that different situations require different leadership approaches, the situational leadership model aims to improve leadership effectiveness and outcomes. Therefore, the statement that the core foundation of the situational leadership model is the belief that there is no single "best" approach to leadership is true.
