Average Rating: Rating: - Great book for any leader or manager This is an excellent book on situational leadership. It outlines what would seem to be a simple process to becoming a situational leader. The examples given are relevant and the book was very easy to read. The most valuable concept I learned from the book was the concept of "different strokes for the same folks," meaning that you can use different leadership styles with the same person depending on the task at hand. The only thing I didn't really care for about this book was the way in which it was written. The whole book consists of conversations between "the entrepreneur," the "one minute manager," and the subordinates of the one minute manager. It was kind of cheesy at some times, but it got the point across loud and clear. Rating: - Read from the Master of Situational Leadership Dr. Ken Blanchard is indeed the master of Situational Leadership. He and Hershey were the great inventors of Situational Leadership I. They had something great going then. Now, Situational Leadership II is fully on the scene and it is catching on everywhere. From major corporations to the Lady Volunteers of Tennessee, everyone is successfully using Situational Leadership to manage their people. This book tells you how to do it the right way. When situational leadership is done correctly, your people will love you for it. You can also use situational leadership at home with your wife and kids. If you are a manager, you MUST have this book. You can't effectively manage or lead without it. Remember, when you undersupervise you frustrate yourself. When you oversupervise, you frustrate others. Situational leadership is simply providing for subordinate what they cannot provide for themselves. Dr. Blanchard's book will tell you how to do it! As U.S. Air Force instructor, I have taught this theory using this book to over 450 managers per year. All of them have praised this book and Blanchard/Hershey's theory. Rating: - Practical Leadership Style Leadership is the key trait of any manager to handle the business of managing. Lots of theories were proposed and lot of literature has been produced on leadership styles. Here is a refreshing and down to earth proposal of situational leadership. It is a synthesis of major leadership styles already proposed. Use right leadership style with right people - different strokes to different people is the key proposal of this book. This book also proposes evolutionary nature of people at work and thus change of leadership style with the same person at different situations and evolutionary levels. The proposal of not treating unequals as equals for any reason is very sound and practical and thus makes this theory adoptable in any situation. Written in simple but very clear style, this book is a must read for everybody - whether in the business of managing or not because it can be adopted to any basic human interaction for getting right responses. It is of great help anyway for those people who are in the business of managing.
