Question

Kevin has been working at Van Der Moor Electronics Repair for 12 years. Over these 12 years, he has accumulated a number of different skills; however, he is still somewhat insecure in his abilities. According to Hersey and Blanchard’s situational model of leadership, what type of leader style would work best for Kevin?

Answer 1

Answer:

Selling

Explanation:

Ken Blanchard postulated the Situational Leadership Theory. It based on the assumption that there is no one best way for leadership to be administered, rather leader's style should depend on the task being performed.

The leadership style to be adopted is also dependent on how ready the group is for development.

The leadership styles are telling, selling, participating, and delegating.

Selling is when the members of the group are able to perform a task but are not motivated to do it. A leader who can create a motivation or sell the idea of the task is required.

In the given scenario Kevin has worked at Van Der Moor Electronics Repair for 12 years where he has accumulated a number of different skills. But he is insecure.

The selling leadership will motivate him.
