Situational Leadership 2 of Kenneth Blanchard and Paul Hersey

Situational management theory was developed over several stages. In its basic form, it was developed in a collaboration between two Americans - namely behavioral researcher Paul Hersey and PhD in leadership Kenneth Blanchard.
They developed the Theory while working on the book ”Management of Organizational Behavior”. The Theory was introduced in 1969 as ”life cycle theory of leadership”. During the mid -1970s the theory was renamed ”Situational Leadership Theory”. In the late 1970s/early 1980s, Hersey and Blanchard both developed their own slightly divergent versions of the Situational Leadership Theory. In 1985 Kenneth Blanchard introduced situational leadership II also called the SL II theory in the book ”A Situational Approach to Managing People”. The starting point for the review is this edition.
The theory is about leadership and not management. Therefore the person in charge in this theory are is called a leader and not a manager.
The purpose of the theory is to make it easier for the leader to choose the right leadership style in relation to the individual employee. Effective leadership lies in matching the appropriate leadership style to the individual employee's need for guidance and support to achieve a specific goal or solve a task.

    I wonder about this theory. If you have someone at D1, who doubtless is skilled in other areas, surely you will lose their commitment if you don't involve them in any decisions and don't support them. They will lose commitment and motivation if directed like robots. At this level employees are highly engaged, it's important not to lose that. I know it has a huge following but I personally see it as flawed.

    You're right! If the manager uses the model rigidly, then things go wrong. A leader must never forget that employees are human beings, so there are always emotions to be taken into account. After the model was published Kenneth Blanchard has worked with the concept of Servant Leadership where he specifically talks about the role of the leader as a motivator.

    Even high directive and low supportive doesn't suit at all . You can't be directing the surbodinates always without being supportive and I found this model has a weakness in there and also why in S2 the leader must be more supportive and directive because the peer lacks ability and has confidence

    Context is critical to applying the model because the same person can be on different development levels depending on the task. A self-reliant key account manager (D4) can easily be a Disillusioned Learner (D2) when trying to master a new CRM system. They may need little leadership input relating to their main role, but at the same time need a ton of direction and support in getting to grips with the new system.

    @@PBR060661 You're right. Employees are constantly moving around in this model. It requires a great deal of work by the manager to know where the individual employee is right now.
