    Situational leadership theory states that successful leaders should change their leadership styles based on the maturity of their team and the details of the task, placing more or less emphasis on the task and relationships as needed.

    The four main leadership styles are Directing, Coaching, Supporting, and Delegating.

    The 'Directing' style has high directive and low supportive behavior. The leader defines roles and maintains control over problem solving, decision making, and communication.

    SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEORY


    This theory was created by Dr Paul Hersey, a professor and author of

    "The Situational Leader," and Ken Blanchard, author of the best selling "The One-Minute Manager.

    The theory states that instead of using just one style, successful leaders

    should change their leadership styles based on the maturity of the people they're leading and the details of the task.

    Using this theory, leaders should be able to place more or less

    emphasis on the task, and more or less emphasis on the relationships with the people they're leading, depending on what's needed to get the job done successfully.

    According to Hersey and Blanchard, there are four main leadership

    styles:

    DIRECTING
    Level of development - D1(Low Competence, High Commitment )
    High Directive, Low Supportive Leader Defines Roles of Followers Problem Solving and Decision Making Initiated

    by the Leader One-way Communication

    19

    COACHING
    Level of development- D2 (Some Competence, Low Commitment)

    High Directive, High Supportive Leader Now Attempts to Hear Followers

    Suggestions, Ideas, and Opinions Two-way Communication Control Over Decision Making Remains With the Leader

    SUPPORTIVE
    Level of development-D3(Moderate to High Competence, Variable Commitment)
    High Supportive, Low Directive Focus of Control Shifts to Follower Leader Actively Listens Follower Has Ability and Knowledge to Do the Task

    DELEGATING
    Level of development-D4(High Competence, High Commitment)
    Low Supportive, Low Directive Leader Discusses Problems With Followers Seeks Joint Agreement on Problem Definitions Decision Making Is Handled by the Subordinate They Run Their Own Show
