SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP

The art of getting someone else to do something you want done,

because he wants to do it!

(Dwight D. Eisenhower)

SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Finding and providing what each of your team members need in order to do something you want them to do at their full

potential!

WHAT’S THE CHALLENGE?

People & situations are different!

You cannot apply one leadership style to everybody!

WE’RE ALL LEARNING HERE!

-tell the follower what to do/when to do it/how to do it

-closely supervise performance

The extent to which a leader engages in two-way communication-listen, provide support, provide encouragement

-facilitate interaction

-involve followers in decision-making

KEY TAKE-AWAY’S

People are different and need different leadership approaches.

The PM goes through the same process with every new project he initiates.

Not everybody starts with a competence from the same step!

People on your team can grow to become leaders and maybe even take the project to the next level! (herritage)
