The Situational Leadership® Model is arguably the most recognised, utilised and effective leadership and influence tool that has been developed. Dr. Paul Hersey's task-specific, original Situational Leadership® Model is based on the relationship between leaders and followers and serves as a framework to analyse each situation based on:

  • The amount of guidance and direction (task behaviour) a leader gives
  • The amount of socio-emotional support (relationship behaviour) a leader provides
  • The readiness level that followers exhibit in performing a specific task, function, or objective

To be successful in today's work environment, a leader must learn to appropriately balance their task direction with the proper relationship behaviour, enabling high levels of consistent performance across teams.
