What ist he difference between situational leadership and path-goal management?

If an apartment house catches fire, before the fire department arrives, getting folks out of the house will depend upon situational leadership, hopefully.

After the fire department arrives, path-goal management takes hold, as fire and rescue teams start to do their work.
