The Hersey and Blanchard situational leadership model can be adapted and employed by preceptors, presenting as various forms pertaining to the pupils’ ongoing professional development (Bedford & Gehlert, 2013) or utilised in a leader-subordinate capacity utilising the same principles (Furtado, Batista, & Silva, 2011). This model was developed following analysis of present research and emphasises fluidity in employing differing leadership styles, depending on the situation/task and the psychological maturity of the acolyte, or degree of competence and motivational aptitude (Australian Public Service Commission , 2014). It delivers task-associated behaviours, which entail the preceptor delivers appropriate information to ensure comprehension …show more content…
The model consists of four supportive/directive styles (S1-S4) and D1-D4, inclusive of ‘S1 directing/telling and D1, low competence, high commitment’, which requires high levels of direction, with minimal support offered, ‘appropriate in situations where followers lack competence, and therefore need to be shown how to do something, but are enthusiastic and committed’, but when competence/confidence is achieved followers ‘can resent being subject to what will begin to feel like an autocratic leadership style. Leaders need to adapt accordingly’.‘S2 coaching/selling and D2’ is a combination of high direction/support with followers having ‘some competence but a lower level of commitment’ and require ‘direction and supervision because they are still relatively inexperienced’. The third form is ‘S3 supporting/encouraging and D3 of high confidence but variable commitment’, which requires minimal directive behaviour, and elevated levels of supportive behaviour. ‘S4 is delegating/empowering and D4 of high confidence and high commitment’ requiring low directive and support offered via the facilitator (Harvey ,
The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.
Dabo Swinney: A Transformational Leader Leadership is a very important part of having a successful organization. A strong leader brings a vision, and provides the motivation needed to unite a group bring them to achieve a common goal by aligning the organization to its vision. Good leaders are inspirational and charismatic they lead their organization through the internal and external changes that occur (Gupta, 2009). Dabo Swinney, the head coach of the Clemson Tigers football team is an exemplary example of a strong leader.
The concern is if the leadership method is effective for that particular setting. The type of leadership style my preceptor has is task-oriented. Spahr defines task-oriented leadership as, “leadership that focuses on completing a job and concentrates on tasks that have to be done, rather than who is doing them” (Spahr, 2015).
The Disney film Remember the Titans introduces a chance to take a gander at the advancement of leadership throughout a season in light of the development of a team. This analysis will distinguish the diverse stages of group development utilizing Tuckman's Model (forming, storming, norming, and performing) over the span of the Titan's season (Employers, 2010). Inside every phase, the Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model (SLM) will be utilized to evaluate both the developmental level of the team and the relating leadership style showed by the two principle coaches in the film, Herman Boone and Bill Yoast (Hersey and Blanchard, 1988). This analysis will give understanding into how the formation of a high performing team requires diverse sorts of leadership at different purposes of development.

Lesson 3 Case Study on Situational Approaches - Consistency and Leadership Rakesh kawan International American University MGT 500: Organizational Behavior and Leadership Sushil Pant September 24, 2014 Introduction: Situational Approaches - Consistency and Leadership Situational Leadership is a leadership style where the leader makes decisions according to the present situation. For that a leader must be aware about the present condition of the followers and their perception towards the situation. Perception is the way we think about or understand someone or something. It is basically the way that we notice or understand something using one of our sense organs.

Self Reflection over an Introduction to Adaptive Leadership When first signing up for this class I believed it to be a class about learning how to become a leader, or an even better one. After watching the course introduction and learning more about this class I learned that it was not what I thought it was about, but would still value me greatly. As I have examined the history of different leadership styles and theories I have expanded greatly on what I knew about leadership, learning specifically about adaptive leadership. I can also say that I have seen growth in my journals over the past few weeks, as they have started to grasp a better understanding of adaptive leadership.

1.1 Introduction Every business has its ups and downs, . Whether a small business or a large enterprise, a business will run into problems that question its survival,; and this is all determined by the basis of the business; how it was established and on what grounds was the business initiated.

This paper will examine the three leadership theories, identify how they apply to my practice, and explore how these theories interact with each other. The Trait Leadership Theory is based on the belief that a person is born with special traits contributing to natural leadership abilities. Studies of famous historical leaders have been used to identify various traits for this theory. Although the list of traits differs from study to study, there are five major traits that are consistent throughout most studies.
The most prominent and influential studies regarding the dimensions of the organizational culture have shown that a healthy organization leadership culture have a greater impact on the way the leaders transact the business of the organization. The four dimensions to consider while dealing with leadership culture are the individualism versus collectivism, feminine versus masculine, long term versus short term orientation and finally the power distance (Conner & Armitage, 2008). 3.2.1 Individualism versus Collectivism Leadership Culture The leadership culture which supports individualists is least likely to enhance the ability of leaders to engage in their workplace environment and drive forward the development of the new startup company.
Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.
If the behavior theory can identify the key determinants of leadership, people can actually train to become a leader. This is the premise of the management development plan. There are many different types of behavioural leadership styles. Each style suggests that the leadership role is based on the leaders’ concern for the people being led and the level of achievement that needs to be
