Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model, a theory proposing that effective leadership necessitates adapting one's style to the follower's competence and commitment level. Different sources explore the model's history, its four leadership styles (Telling, Selling, Participating, Delegating), and how these styles correspond to various follower maturity levels (often denoted as R1-R4, D1-D4, or M1-M4). Some sources compare the model to other leadership theories, highlight its advantages and disadvantages, and offer practical examples of its application in diverse workplace settings. A critical analysis of the model's effectiveness and potential limitations is also included in some of the provided texts.
