Theory developed by Hersey and Blanchard (1969). They defined leadership in terms of the direction and support that the leader provides to their subordinates.

Good leaders adapt their leadership style to the situation.

Leadership depends on two factors – leadership style and the maturity of the group or individual they are leading. There is no best leadership style. The maturity of the group/individual dictates what leadership style should be applied.

Leadership Styles can be further broken down into 4 different styles.

Directing. (Defined by the leader and monitored closely)

Coaching. (Defined by the leader with the input and collaboration of followers)

Supporting. (Leader makes the decision and delegates. Although different to the 4th style it’s ultimately the followers decide the best way for the task to be carried out.)

Delegating. (The leader is involved in the decision making, but the follower decides when and how the leader will be involved.)

M1. The individuals lack the specific skills required for the job in hand, but they are willing to work. Considered a novice but enthusiastic.

M2. These are more able to do the task, however they are not fully motivated.

M3. Workers are capable of doing the task but lack the confidence to take full responsibility.

M4. Workers are capable and willing to take on the task.
