Situational Leadership Model Explained

[@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!

[@hazamyuncle6784]

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

[@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!

[@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

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.

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!

[@chiefcollinsgh3753]

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

[@kumargaurave3287]

Liked it very much i always find hard to understand management principles this video made the topic very easy to understand. Thank you

[@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!!

[@epm8805]

Great to hear!

[@Manager-8472]

Choosing the best style of leadership to suit the situation is a key skill and often necessary in the quickly changing world of work. However, the leader needs to be careful to ensure that they retain their followers who may become suspicious of the leaders associated behavioural changes. One example is where the leader has previously encouraged feedback but is now reluctant to do so, possibly because of a set of unpopular future changes. One way to manage this risk is to appreciate the human in people relevant to the situation. This includes the use of emotional intelligence, situational awarness and empathy.

[@DadoDoda]

Phenomenal! Helped me a lot! Easy to understand. Will dig in more into this. Thank you!

[@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 …. :)

[@karenfoster2394]

Thank you for explaining this so simply.

[@nickmattyvid]

thanks a lot! from Swedistan

[@prithviraj1080]

Thanks for this. Keep 'em comin'.

[@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.

[@tomredfearn8995]

very useful video, thank you

[@Asifafr00]

Plz do a similarities and differences video of path goal vs situational theory

[@TheManuella3]

Thank you so much for this...

[@aps81x22]

Thank you for that. Great refresher for me.

[@tru853]

Thank you

[@shaziyakhan8369]

Thanks! It was helpful.

[@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.

[@deekshaagarwal1011]

Nice video, thanks!

[@taimurakram2222]

thanks alot this helped so much

[@taimurakram2222]

Just an update I passed this subjects this semester😍 thanks again

[@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.
