style base on the maturity of the people they’re

leading and the details of the task.

Four main leadership style

o Telling (SI) ~ Leaders tell their people what to do and how to do.

o Selling (SII) ~ Leaders provide information and direction, but there’s more communication with the followers.

o Participating (SIII) ~ Leaders focus more on relationship and less on direction.

o Delegating (SIV) ~ Leaders pass most of the responsibility onto the follower or group.

Two leader behaviors

Task-oriented ~ behavioral approach in which the leader focuses on the tasks that need to be performed in order to meet certain goals, or to achieve a certain performance standard.

Relationship-oriented ~ is a behavioral approach in which the leader focuses on the satisfaction, motivation and the general well-being of the team members.

Maturity levels MI ~ People at this level of maturity are

at the bottom level of the scale. MII ~ at this level, followers might be

willing to work on the task, but they still don’t have the skill to complete it successfully.

MIII ~ here, followers are ready to help with the task.

MIV ~ these followers are able to work on their own.
