Answer 1

According to the situational model, your level of development is D4.

Explanation:

The situation leadership approach, created through control of organisation's activities by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard, is a guide. The theory was published as the "life cycle leadership hypothesis" in 1969.

The model of situation leadership used by Blanchard in its definition of various levels of development, the words "voice" (ability, knowledge and skills) and "commitment" (esteem and motivation).

According to Ken Blanchard, "The so-called quality stage is composed of the four combinations of expertise and dedication"

D1 – Low competence with high commitment

D2 – Low/middling competence with low commitment

D3 – High competence with low/variable commitment

D4 – High competence with high commitment
