Given that Sri Lanka is in the worst turmoil right now, it’s worth looking at situational leadership, which prescribes that leaders should adapt to the environment and change their style of leadership.
It is therefore, necessary for the present members of parliament to choose someone as the next president, who can come out of their party politics box and change his leadership style to suit the environment of the country.
