Adjusting, Altering and Varying the Leadership Style

After reading briefly on the leadership styles as per Goleman it had me thinking, are leaders aware that they are using particular leadership styles? And do leaders think before they act as to what leadership style they will use? And would there be a difference if they thought about this rather than simply acting? Are they able to change their style if needed?
I think theoretically it could make a difference as they would be more in line with what is required for the situation. Maybe they would also consider things that weren't considered otherwise?

Flexible Leadership Styles

In our center for developing leadership (CDL) of ITBA (private university), we have done a lot of training and experience with executive groups using Goleman-Boyatzis model. The most frequent issue is that managers react using their own temperament & traits and they forget the need of flexibility and awareness according to the situation. Our solution is training them on the basis of a tutoring program in their own context. They don't need a lot of theory, they react better when somebody shows them their mistakes and the way to be more effective.
