Situational
Leadership as a theory was developed by Dr. Paul Hersey in the late 1960s which
aims to give further understanding between the leaders and its members. The
fore cores of the theory are to ‘Diagnose’ (knowing the situation), ‘Adapt’
(Change the behaviors of the members in the level of the situation), ‘Communicate’
(letting the members understand the situation) and ‘Advance’ (further the
developments). This is of course very helpful as its gives the leaders
(managers) the opportunity to adjust themselves according to the situation.
