What is functional theory in regard to leadership and when might this type of leadership occur?

What will be an ideal response?

Functional theory assumes that whatever the group needs at a particular time can be supplied by a set of behaviors any group member can contribute. So members might fill in leadership when needed. Functional leadership can occur when group members have an equal balance of power, a common goal, shared responsibility for work, and mutual respect for members.
