In today's society, educators must have leadership skills to accomplish the tasks required at the university or school district level. The education profession must provide leadership training for present and future administrators. In Situational Leadership, four styles are identified and based on three dimensions: the amount of direction a leader provides; amount of support and encouragement the leader provides; and amount of follower involvement in decision making. The directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating leadership styles are all useful in various situations, but the style with the highest probability of success is the one that matches the development level of the follower (enthusiastic beginner, disillusioned learner, reluctant contributor, or peak performer). The five steps which supervisors and leaders can follow when trying to help followers increase their competence and commitment are: (1) tell the person what you want done; (2) show the person how it is to be done; (3) let the person try; observe performance; and (5) manage the consequences.
