Vad är Situational Leadership Adaptive

Situational leadership is a framework for adapting your leadership approach based on a person's readiness level. Readiness combines competence (technical skill, knowledge) and commitment (motivation, confidence). The model defines four leadership styles: Telling (directive, structured, clear instructions), Selling (coaching, explaining why, building support), Participating (collaborative, supporting, listening), and Delegating (hands-off autonomy, trust). A junior developer with low technical skill and high enthusiasm needs Telling/Selling (structure, coaching). A senior developer with high skill needs Delegating (autonomy, trust). Matching style to readiness maximizes motivation and performance.

❓ Vanliga frågor

What is situational leadership and why does it matter?
Situational leadership matches your leadership style to the person's readiness level. A new hire needs direction; a senior person needs autonomy. Matching style to readiness maximizes motivation and performance.
What are the four leadership styles in situational leadership?
Telling (directive, for low readiness), Selling (coaching, for low-moderate readiness), Participating (supporting, for moderate-high readiness), Delegating (hands-off, for high readiness). Effectiveness depends on matching to the person.
How do I assess someone's readiness level?
Readiness has two components: competence (skill) and commitment (motivation). Assess by observing work quality, asking about confidence, and gathering feedback. Someone can be high-skill but low-commitment, or vice versa.
Isn't delegating to junior people irresponsible?
Not if you delegate strategically. Give junior people small tasks with support to build competence and confidence. Delegation + coaching = growth. But full delegation of complex tasks requires higher readiness.
How do I know if my style matches the situation?
Observe results: high performance and motivation suggest a match. Low performance or frustration suggests misalignment. Regularly check in: does the person feel supported but not micromanaged?
