After watching the videos, I can understand how my employment journey was and relate to this explanation. This is how I describe each stages: D1: boss gives you a small task you surely can do. D2: boss gives you a task, frequent updates needed, any issues in the road should be consulted, you offers solution, boss will approve it. D3: boss gives you a task, you make the strategy and decide, boss will give you their opinion but not to disapprove. D4: boss places you to a new role/job, you figure out what to do.

I went through a class with this topic and didn't understand it. You just simplified it and made it so easy to retain. Thank you

[@cyndyferguson]

I have used the Situational Leadership model very successfully for 25 years. Most of my direct reports tell me I am the best boss they ever had!

[@socalragamuffins]

Outstanding presentation. Very easy to understand to include the examples provided and truly how we as leaders adjust whether daily or long-term vision.

[@Suresh-ku3iw]

Excellent narration making it extremely easy to follow, understand & retain the contents. Only a few in the world are masters in this. Thanks a lot for your time, patience and willingness to support this way. Best Regards

[@dalemurphy6396]

Just want to say a big thanks to EPM for creating these videos. I'm currently studying for an exam on Leadership & Strategic Implementation next week and these videos have been a massive help in revisiting key theories in leadership. The advantages and disadvantages listed for each theory at the end are also extremely useful from a critical analysis perspective. Great work!

[@epm8805]

Thank you for the kind feedback! Best of luck with your exam!

[@chiefcollinsgh3753]

very useful for all leaders because, situations varies and must be critically select the best leadership style

[@sulavthami106]

Initially, I only viewed this model as managing employees based on employee maturity and task difficulty, and had not gone in depth (with all those different approaches as outlined on 4 quadrants), later to only realize I do not understand it at all. I was having difficulty completing one of my L7 assignment and now it's clear. Thanks EPM for delivering such a simplified presentation.

[@faridah3689]

Excellent video, good explanation with example and also taking the time to describe the differents version of the models and the terminology.

[@jeedax]

Thank you so much!!! I was reading about it. It was vague and fluff. Then I hopped on youtube. Voila. Watched your video and now I know what it is, how to use it, and when to use it! Love the channel. I shared this channel with all my classmates.

[@epm8805]

Glad I could help!

[@diestudentin6932]

I enjoy EVERY video on this channel, it helps me to understand abstract theories and methods, especially in those fields I - as a psychology student and layperson - don´t have any access to. Thank you very much, for posting so much knowledgeable and instructive content!!

Lovely session! ❤️

[@doroteabrandin4423]

Excellent and clear!

[@TheManuella3]

Thank you so much for this...

[@es6565]

Very well presented however would not necessarily agree that if you have a D1 employee you should use a directing style. This can sometimes squash creativity and confidence - I would go a step further and say the style deployed also depends on the individual in question and degree of risk. I have allowed work experience students to lead and it is astounding to watch what unfolds …. :)

[@Robert_U]

Awesome explanation 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@patrickcano2491]

This was very nice, it is the first time I look into the Situational Leadership Model and I have one question. What about the employee that you coach but he/she does not take the coaching, meaning, he has no initiative to follow through what was discussed because he believes he is more senior than he actually is. How to address this in the situational model leadership style

[@nathanraja]

You are describing a situation where coaching isn't working for the employee. So, I'd suggest the leader to adapt his / her leadership style from coaching to directing.

[@monguyen8687]

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

[@olliesmith6886]

Hi thanks for the video. I'm a bit confused at one part of the model. According to the model if I have someone who is new to the job and doesn't know what they are doing then they are at a D1 level. Therefore according to the model I should adopt a S1 directive approach. However, from my style of leadership, even if the employee is new I still like to receive feedback from them and I'm open to suggestions. Does this mean that I can have someone who is a D1 level but I use a S2 approach? Thanks, Ollie

[@AndreaVerma]

Hi, In the directive style or S1 style of Leadership, it does recommend a High Level of Direction, but a low(er) level of Support (or asking for feedback) than you would with a more experienced employee. So while you must give a LOT of direction, it's perfectly fine, and indeed recommended that you always have a 2 - way discussion, asking for feedback and opinions.

[@itplast]

Easy to realise which style is leadership

[@ValentinBoyanov]

I am afraid, here they mixed up the role "Manager" with the "Leader" one. Those look similar but differ in reality. When we talk about the situation, as mentioned, that the team is performing tasks and even make a decision then we have here not Leader, but maybe, Manager, or even a Supervisory role.

[@epm8805]

I can see why you think that but there is no mix up. Whether you are a leader or not isn't defined by "what" your team does, but by your autonomy to set the future direction for that team. For example, a CEO of a small 10 man business is still a leader even if their team is doing pretty mundane tasks. Why? Because they have autonomy to set the direction e.g. if a new market should be entered, if the company's social presence should move away from Facebook etc. Hope this helps.
