“The concept of “situational leading” from Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard is based on the assumption that every employee needs to be managed differently, depending on their maturity level, to unlock the whole potential of the company. The executive does not dictate one style of leadership, but rather adapts it, within the confines of one’s own personality, to fit the needs of the employee. The maturity level of an employee is defined by a combination of willingness and competence. The varying levels span from low to very high and amount to four characteristic forms.”
