Reading the Play: Situational leadership

Episode #63 // Sometimes we focus so much on developing our own leadership style that we forget to read the play.

One of the most useful leadership models that I have encountered is Situational Leadership Theory. It basically states that, since every individual is different, and they often find themselves in different situations, the style of the leader should vary according to this in order to optimise results.

In this episode we look at when it is appropriate to push harder, when it is appropriate to work more closely with someone, and when it is appropriate to stand back and let them get on with it!

Using practical scenarios, we bring the theory to life to help you navigate changes in style, depending on the needs of your followers.

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
