Situational Leadership
Reloaded Don’t expect to start at S1, or expect to
Finish at S4
You may, but don’t necessarily have to go
through all four leadership styles with a
single group
There’s a reason it’s called
SITUATIONAL.
Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things
How does it all fit in?
Identify the type of leadership your group
needs
Be prepared to change styles as your
group’s needs change.
Don’t get stuck into one style, a leader
makes or breaks group harmony.
An Effective Leader
“The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him, in other men
the conviction and the will to carry on. – Walter Lipmann
Summing Up Leadership
Leadership is SITUATIONAL
A good leader is flexible.
Good leaders collaborate.
Pay attention to group dynamics.
Balance task and maintenance.
