In line with previous research and our prediction, self‐ and subordinate descriptions of the behavior of 92 supervisors are only weakly related. Also, congruence between these two descriptions is positively related to three measures of situational control. These findings are congruent with Fiedler's view that leaders describe themselves as they are in high‐control situations.
