Leader effectiveness depends on: Assessing subordinate’s developmental position, and Adapting his/her leadership style to match subordinate
developmental level
“The Situational approach requires leaders to demonstrate a strong degree of flexibility.”
Subordinates vacillate along the developmental continuum of competence and commitment

![Page 14: 1 Situational Approach](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051520/58ed42801a28ab014a8b461d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How Does the Situational Approach Work?
1st TaskDiagnose the Situation Identify the developmental level of employee
• Ask questions like:- What is the task subordinates
are being asked to perform? - How complicated is it?- What is their skill set?- Do they have the desire to
complete the job?
2nd Task Adapt their Style To prescribed Leadership style in the SLII model
• Leadership style must correspond to the employee’s development level
