situational leadership theory

situational leadership theory
A contingency theory of leadership holding that leadership style should be varied according to the maturity of followers, which encompasses such factors as experience in the job and willingness to take responsibility. Where maturity is low, leaders should be task-motivated and directive; as maturity increases, leaders should be increasingly relationship-motivated and supportive.
