Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard, best known for The One Minute Manager series, created the Situational Leadership Model that allows you to adopt the leadership style most appropriate for the situation you are in. The model is easy to understand and applies for most people. In fact, it does not apply just to people in management positions. It also applies to those who assume a leadership role at home, when they volunteer for a cause, or when they train their kids’ soccer team.

Blanchard and Hersey defined leadership styles in terms of the amount of direction and support that the leader gives to his or her followers. They also said that the leader’s style should be driven by the level of competence and commitment of the follower. As a result, they came up with four distinct leadership styles.
