Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model

The Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model suggests that effective leadership depends on adapting your style based on the maturity and competence of your team members. Leaders assess whether team members need more direction and supervision or more support and empowerment. For less experienced employees, more guidance and close oversight are beneficial. As they grow, leaders can provide less direct supervision and encourage independence. This flexible approach helps maximize team performance by matching leadership style to individual development levels, fostering growth and achieving organizational goals efficiently.
