4 Leadership Styles:
S1: Telling - • characterized by one-way communication in which the
leader defines the roles of the individual or group and provides the what, how, why , when, and where to do the task.
S2: Selling -• while the leader is still providing the direction, he or she is
now using two-way communication and providing the socioemotional support that will allow the individual or group being influenced to buy into the process.

S3: Participating -• Shared decision making about aspects of how the task is
accomplished and the leader is providing less task behaviors while maintaining high relationship behavior.
S4: Delegating -• The leader is still involved in decisions; however, the
process and responsibility has been passed to the individual or group. The leader stays involved to monitor progress.

The Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Theory identified four levels of Maturity M1 through M4:
M1 - They generally lack the specific skills required for the job in hand and are unable and unwilling to do or to take responsibility for this job or task.
M2 - They are still unable to take on responsibility for the task being done; however, they are willing to work at the task.

M3 - They are experienced and able to do the task but lack the confidence to take on responsibility.
M4 - They are experienced at the task, and comfortable with their own ability to do it well. They are able and willing to not only do the task, but to take responsibility for the task.

ROOTS OF THE THEORY
The fundamental underpinning of the situational leadership theory is there is no single "best" style of leadership.

THE CASE QUESTIONS.
1. Which type of Leadership Theory is illustrated in this case?
![Page 20: Damodar Valley Corporation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547fd44db4af9faf158b5b95/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Situational Leadership forms are demonstrated by Mr. PC. Luther, the chairman of the company DVC, in this case.

2. Can you consider Luther an authentic leader? Did he trust his
people? How are trust and leadership related?
![Page 22: Damodar Valley Corporation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547fd44db4af9faf158b5b95/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
He was definitely an authentic leader, not completely though as he believed in employee participation to some extent.
Yes he definitely trusted his people.
Trust is an integral part of leadership as it determines leadership style and many other factors emanating out of the trust levels.
