Great leaders understand how to use a variety of leadership styles depending on the circumstance.
Hiring somebody with task-specific strengths as opposed to someone who’s just good at everything prepares for their best success.
Consequently, in order to be a good leader you have to adjust your style of leadership depending on the situation. The most well-known model for this type of leadership is the Hersey Blanchard Situational Leadership Model which was developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard.
The leadership model helps to determine the most appropriate leadership style for a team, based on the kind of work they need to do and the abilities of their members.
Leaders use 4 different types of leadership styles: Directive, Delegating, Supporting, and Coaching.
