    About this ebook

    Entrepreneurs Brief Guide. How to Select the Right Leadership Style for Your Team.

    As business managers and leaders you may have encountered situations where you hand some work to be finished to your team member and then rush out of the office. Later, when you return, you find that the work hasn’t been completed. This situation can be overcome through the application of “The Hersey Blanchard Situational Leadership Theory”. Instead of focusing on and using just one style of leadership, successful leaders must change their leadership style depending on the maturity of the people they’re leading.

    In 30 minutes, learn how to: (a) Appreciate the different styles of leadership and (b) Achieve a balance between tasks and people oriented leadership styles.
