The Situational Leadership® Model equips leaders with the skills to match their behaviours with the performance needs of the individual or group that they are attempting to influence. Based on two fundamental research questions: “What is the best leadership style?” and “What are the driving forces behind human motivation?” the Situational Leadership® Model focuses on the relationship between leaders and followers and provides a framework to analyse each situation depending on the Performance Readiness® Level that a follower exhibits in performing a specific task. The leader then responds with the necessary amounts of supportive behaviour and directive behaviour to advance development.
