The Situational Leadership Model Offers a Degree of Flexibility in the Leader's

The Situational Leadership model offers a degree of flexibility in the leader's approach. As followers gain skills and confidence, they receive different degrees of support from their manager. Rather than dictating a fixed position, the model encourages the manager to treat people differently and to recognize the dynamic nature of leadership. It is based on 3 assumptions, which below best reflects one of these:

A) The manager must have the skills and emotional tools to be able to carry off the four different styles sufficiently well to convince the followers these are genuine behaviours.
B) The manager does not need the skill or insight to be able to assess the state of readiness of the followers. They need abilities and background data of them to judge accurately their leadership in terms of its maturity/readiness
C) As individuals develop their skills and confidence they do not follow the development path of each other as individuals with differing degrees of maturity or readiness will require the same input from the leader
D) The manager does not need the skills and emotional tools to be able to carry different styles of leadership to convince the followers these are genuine behaviours.
