Key Takeaway: Situational leadership requires the manager to vary their leadership style between four different styles: directing, selling, participating, and delegating. The correct situational leadership style should be based on the employee readiness level (R1 - R4). This readiness level depends on the employee’s ability to perform the task, willingness to perform the task, and confidence in performing the task. Depending on which task is being asked of the employee, the readiness level can change.
