What is Situational Leadership®?

In today’s dynamic corporate landscape, the demand for adaptable leadership stands as a cornerstone for organisational success. Situational Leadership®, devised by Paul Hersey, offers a great opportunity to build effective leadership capabilities. At Acumen we believe in helping leaders gain the understanding of assessing team members on the basis of different stages of development. This way, we enable in them the ability to select the most fitting leadership style tailored to each unique situation. All in all, a leader learns the adaptive style to deal with individual team members by matching their behaviours with the performance requirement on a case to case basis with predictable outcomes. This approach, given its leader-follower relationship, empowers leaders to navigate complexities with precision. In other words, with the Situational Leadership® model we offer a framework to analyse each situation based on the Performance Readiness® Level.

Our team of experienced consultants at Acumen is committed to delivering results. We go beyond standard assessments by offering a tailored, personal approach to leadership development. With our support, you can create a culture of strong leadership that drives your organisation's success.
