The Hersey-Blanchard
Situational Leadership
Model rests on two
fundamental concepts :
Development Level (of
the followers)
Leadership Styles (of the
leader)
DEVELOPMENT LEVEL
to perform
and is
LEADERSHIP STYLE
The situational leadership styles
are divided into 4 categories :
directing
coaching
supporting
(the leader and follower make decisions
together. The role of the leader is to facilitate,
listen, encourage and support the follower)
delegating
ADVANTAGES
Flexibility, There is no such thing as a single best or fixed type of leadership. Leadership
changes according to the requirements of the organization, successful leaders are
able to be flexible and adapt their style of leadership to the level of maturity of their
group
Changes according to the situation, The leadership style that the situational leader
brings into play will be dependent on the situation at hand and the development
level of the individuals involved. If the development level is low, the situational leader
becomes more task-oriented. If the individuals are sufficiently developed, the leader
will be more supportive.
Differential treatment. Situational leadership is based on the premise that leaders need
to treat each subordinate according to his/her unique needs
DISADVANTAGES
Conceptualization of commitment itself is still unclear and may vary between people
Does not considered for how particular demographics influence the leadersubordinate relationship of the model
Focuses on individuals when in reality sometimes a leader may need to fit the needs of
a group
