Situational Leadership

Situational leadership is a management style that suggests leaders should adjust their approach based on the needs of their team and the specific circumstances they face. It emphasizes flexibility, where leaders assess each individual's competence and commitment to a task and then choose a leadership style—ranging from directing to coaching, supporting, or delegating. This method recognizes that different situations and team members require varying levels of guidance and support to be effective. By adapting their leadership style, leaders can better motivate and empower their teams, ultimately improving performance and achieving goals.
