University leadership models are similar because they are both based on the same two
distinct leadership behaviors, although the models use different names for the two
behaviors. The models are different because the University of Michigan model identifies
two leadership styles based on either job- or employee-centered behavior. The Ohio
State University model states that a leader uses high or low structure and consideration,
resulting in four leadership style combinations of these two behaviors.
