Situational
Situational Leadership (Hersey, Blanchard & Johnson, 1969) is interesting from the perspective of linking theory and style. It suggests that leaders adjust their leadership styles based on the 'readiness' of their followers. Situational Leadership theory argues that for leaders to be truly successful, they must adjust the way they lead their teams, to suit two factors:
The ‘task maturity’ of the people they are leading (that is, how competent a person or team is at the task at hand)
-
The Situational Leadership model suggests four quadrants. Each quadrant denotes a different leadership style. In Situational Leadership theory, leaders place more or less emphasis on the task, and more or less emphasis on the empowerment of the people they’re leading, depending on what’s needed to get the job done successfully
