In the words of leadership theorist Ken Blanchard, “In the past a leader was a boss. Today’s leaders can no longer lead solely based on positional power.”.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The situational leadership model was developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard during the mid-1970s, they believed that leadership is an adaptive leadership style, not a set style to follow.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This strategy encourages leaders to know their team members, consider many variables in their organisation, and choose the leadership style that best fits their goals and circumstances, so in a nutshell, being a flexible leader.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This leadership model works on two levels, one level is the team level and what you need to do, and the other level works on you and what you must do at certain times.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As a leader, your team has a cycle of maturity development whether they are new joiners or been in the team for a while,<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
There’s always progress in the team maturity level and accordingly,<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
You will also be progressing your leadership style to match that current state.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Let’s look at each of them in depth.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Level 1: The Enthusiastic Beginner - Direct (Low competence & High Commitment) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
At this level, your team member doesn’t have many skills but they are very committed to what they are doing.<\/span>
You might also not have a strong relationship with them at this level<\/span>
so the best thing to do is to define the roles very clearly in order for you to reach the results,<\/span>
which forces you to direct the team members in a constant manner<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
Level 2: The Disillusioned learner - Coach (Some competence & Low commitment) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
At this level, you’ve created some relationships with the team member and you also developed some trust in them.<\/span>
What the team member needs at this stage is your coaching, not your direction.<\/span>
Give them room to fail in the tasks you’ve given them and allow them to learn by being patient and by coaching them in a timely manner<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
Level 3: Capable but cautious performer - Support (High competence & Variable commitment) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This level is a team member who has more to bring to the table than just executing tasks,
they have ideas and different suggestions to make things better and naturally, you’ve developed more trust in them.
At this level, the team member needs to be supported in their suggestions,
give them more space and be open to their ideas, they might be more valuable than what you limit them to.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
Level 4: The self-reliant Achiever - Delegate (High competence & High commitment) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This is an advanced maturity level that the team member reaches,
in this level the team member most probably has been in the team for a while, you’ve observed them, and in many situations,
At this level, the team member needs to be supported in their suggestions,
At this level, you can delegate things to them to give them more room to grow bigger than their role.
This will allow them to have more commitment and therefore, more value to the team.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-20483","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLesson 1: Leadership Theories - Situational leadership - Certifeka-edu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/certifeka-edu.com\/ar\/programs\/personal-development-leadership-professional-certificate\/lessons\/lesson-1-leadership-theories-situational-leadership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ar_AR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lesson 1: Leadership Theories - Situational leadership - Certifeka-edu\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lesson 1: Leadership Explained Situational leadership In the words of leadership theorist Ken Blanchard, “In the past a leader was a boss.
