The Hersey-Blanchard Situational LeadershipⓇ
Model
Places its primary emphasis on the characteristics of
group members.
The situational leadership model of Paul Hersey and
Kenneth H. Blanchard explains how to match the
leadership style to the readiness of the group members.
8
Components of the Model
Relationship Behavior
Task Behavior
Follower Readiness
9
Basics of the Model
Task behavior is the extent to which the leader spells out the duties and responsibilities of an individual or group.
10
Basics of the Model
Relationship behavior is the
extent to which the leader
engages in two-way
communication.
11
Basics of the Model
Readiness in situational leadership
is defined as the extent to which a
group member has the ability and
willingness or confidence to
accomplish a specific task.
12
Basics of the Model
Ability is the knowledge, experience, and skill an individual or group brings to a particular task or activity.
Willingness is the extent to which an individual or group has the confidence, commitment, and motivation to accomplish a specific task.
13
Readiness Levels
R1- unable to do the task, lacks
commitment, confidence, and
willingness

provides guidance, lacks the ability to
perform well

16
Telling
The "telling" style is very directive
because the leader produces a lot of
input but a minimum amount of
relationship behavior.
An autocratic leader would fit here.
17
Selling
The "selling" style is also very
directive, but in a more persuasive,
guiding manner.
The leader provides considerable input
about task accomplishment but also
emphasizes human relations.
18
Participating
In the "participating" leadership
style, there is less direction and
more collaboration between
leader and group members.
19
Delegating
In the "delegating" leadership style,
the leader delegates responsibility for
a task to a group member and is
simply kept informed of progress.
20
Basics of the Model
The situational leadership model
states that there is no one best
way to influence group members.
21
Applying the Model

to do.
