Everyone agrees that effective leadership is vital to a group's success. But trying to reach a consensus about which behaviors constitute effective leadership is not so easy. This lack of agreement suggests that, depending on the situation, a wide range of leadership behaviors can be effective.
Situational leaders change their leadership styles depending on the situation and person with whom they are working. The following are three skills involved with being a situational leader:
- Diagnosing: Pinpoint the needs of the people with whom you work.
- Flexibility: Use a variety of leadership styles.
- Partnering: Come to some agreements with staff about the leadership style they need from you.
