competence and motivation to perform (commitment)
LEADERSHIP MODEL
● Delegating style: A low-task, low-relationship style
wherein the leader allows the group to take
responsibility for task decisions. This is best used
with high maturity followers.
● Participating style: A low-task, high-relationship style
that emphasizes shared ideas and decisions.
Managers can use this style with moderate followers
who are experienced but may lack the confidence to
do the tasks assigned.
LEADERSHIP MODEL
● Selling style: A high-task, high-relationship style in
which the leader attempts to sell their ideas to the
group by explaining task directions in a persuasive
manner. This, too, is used with moderate followers.
Unlike the previous style, these followers have the
ability but are unwilling to do the job.
● Telling style: A high-task, low-relationship style
wherein the leader gives explicit directions and
supervises work closely. This style is geared toward
low maturity followers.
