In a constantly evolving world, organisations face challenges that require a dynamic approach to leadership. One approach that has gained increasing attention and recognition is situational leadership. This concept focuses on adapting management style to the specific circumstances and needs that arise in a given situation.
What is Situational Leadership?
Situational leadership, developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard, recognises that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' leadership style. Instead, leadership is seen as a dynamic process where the leader carefully adapts their approach based on three main factors: the nature of the task, the maturity of the employee and the context in which the work is performed. This includes, for example, understanding that different tasks and situations require different approaches.
Create added value through Situational Leadership
- Customisation for tasks:
- Identify the complexity of the tasks you face.
- Use a more directive approach when tasks are clear and a more supportive approach when there is a need to foster creativity and innovation.
- Understand employee maturity:
- Assess employee skills, experience and engagement.
- Adapt your management style to the maturity of your employees by giving more support to less experienced employees and more autonomy to those with more experience.
- The Importance of Context:
- Recognise the context in which tasks are performed.
- Adjust management style based on organisational culture, partners and external factors.
