The Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership model emphasizes adapting leadership styles based on the competence and confidence of team members. Here’s how the leadership styles align with these two dimensions:
Directing (low competence, low confidence): Leaders provide specific instructions and closely supervise tasks.
Coaching (low to some competence, low to some confidence): Leaders provide direction but also engage in two-way communication, offering support and encouragement.
Supporting (moderate to high competence, variable confidence): Leaders facilitate and support team members' efforts towards completing tasks and share decision-making responsibilities.
Delegating (high competence, high confidence): Leaders pass on responsibility for decision-making and problem-solving to team members, providing minimal supervision. #pmp
