Hersey Blanchard Situational Leadership Model

The Hersey Blanchard Situational Leadership Theory explains the relationship between leadership styles and subordinate maturity levels. It identifies four leadership styles: delegating, supporting, coaching, and directing, based on two metrics: relational and directive behavior. Subordinate maturity is assessed through skills, abilities, and psychological commitment. The model suggests matching leadership styles to subordinate maturity levels for effective management.
