Adair's Action-Centered Leadership Model

Adair's Action-Centered Leadership Model suggests that effective leadership involves balancing three key responsibilities: achieving tasks (getting the job done), managing the team (building and supporting group cohesion), and individual needs (caring for team members personally). Leaders must focus on clarifying goals and organizing work, fostering teamwork and motivation, and providing support and recognition. Success depends on maintaining this balance; neglecting any area can hinder performance. The model emphasizes that good leadership is about dynamically adjusting focus based on the team's and task's needs to ensure overall effectiveness.
