John R. Adair

John R. Adair was a British leadership expert known for his "Action-Centered Leadership" model. He proposed that effective leadership involves balancing three key areas: achieving tasks, managing the team, and individual development. By focusing on these three elements—task accomplishment, team cohesion, and individual needs—leaders can improve performance and morale. His approach emphasizes understanding what needs to be done, supporting the team working towards those goals, and attending to personal growth, creating a well-rounded and effective leadership style.
