Situational leadership: what it is and what it means

The situational style is not a fourth parallel style but a meta-competence: the ability to adapt the style to the autonomy level of each individual team member and to the type of task. It requires reading each person separately. The risk is the confusion the group perceives if the adaptation is not made explicit.
