Hersey-Blanchard Model

The Hersey-Blanchard Model is a leadership theory that suggests there is no one best way to lead. Instead, effective leadership depends on the situation and the readiness of the team members. It identifies four leadership styles—telling, selling, participating, and delegating—each suited for different levels of team competence and willingness. Leaders should assess their team's needs and adjust their approach accordingly to support and develop their skills, ultimately fostering a more productive and engaged workforce. This model emphasizes flexibility and adapting leadership to meet the needs of both individuals and the team.
