In Module 1 you were introduced to a number of theories and explanations of
motivation, personality and people's behaviour. This brief overview built a
foundation for the study of leadership.
The functional approach to leadership as developed by John Adair was covered in
depth, and the three areas of need tas!, "roup and individual, were accepted as an
excellent approach to leadership in #imbabwe, as the three areas of need can be
reco"nised in any leadership situation and are broadly constant across cultural
barriers.

$ele"ates were made aware of the need of the need for leaders to reco"nise and
interact with the business environment, both locally and internationally. %usiness
is an open system and if the way we lead is si"nificantly different to the &free&
mar!et concept or other wealth creation methods, one will eventually destroy theother.

In this module we shall be coverin"(
The ideas, concepts, techni)ues and principles of leadership you will be
introduced to are aimed at improvin" your personal leadership effectiveness in
different situations.
*ituational leadership is NOT contin"ency theory leadership. +ontin"ency theory
is a loophole that allows leaders to practice leadership without moral values.
eaders who don't !now how to listen and who don-t respect their employees lean
on the contin"ency theory to excuse their type of leadership &I'm doin" what has
to be done.& They say.

Just as a top athlete or sports person needs to continually train and brin" himself to
pea! fitness, the same dedication and commitment is demanded of business
leaders. 4nfortunately, most business leaders in #imbabwe adopt an &I've arrived&
attitude and fail to !eep business fit. et us recall the lines of 5iplin" in his
preface of and and *ea Tales(
Today's business environment demands total fitness from the hi"hest to the lowest.
%usiness leaders who cannot stand the strain or who lac! commitment must be
weeded out and replaced.

In his memoirs, 8arry Trueman says that(
eadership may be too complex for such a brief definition.
Merely to have capacity is not enou"h the leader must be willin" to use it. 8is
leadership is then based on truth and character there must be truth in the purpose
and willpower in the character.

1. A leader must spea! the truth to those under him if he does not they will soon
find out and their confidence in him will decline.
. The "ood leader must dominate events, which surround him once he lets
events "et the better of him he loses value as a leader .
. The effective leader must exercise influence. This will depend on the personality of the man of what he is capable the flame that burns within.

6. The leader must create a &winnin"& atmosphere by "ivin" firm "uidance and aclear lead.

must maintain a firm "rip. This does not mean interference or the crampin" of

%usiness operations must develop within a predetermined pattern.
C. The overall plan must never be so ri"id that cannot be varied to suit a chan"in"
tactical situation.
G. The art of leadership lies in the understandin" that no two situations are always
the same each must be tac!led as a wholly new problem to which there will be
a wholly new answer.
H. The material with which a leader has to deal is men, not iron ore or cotton.
Men are not commodities. If a leader does not understand the full implication
of this he will fail.

AN INTRODUCTION
The need for a si"nificant *ituational Model in the leadership area has been
reco"nised in mana"ement literature for some time.
The emphasis is on the behaviour of the leader in relation to the ability and
willin"ness of the subordinate.

SELF - AWARENESS PROFILE
This exercise is a self administered inventory that will help you collect and
analyse information about the way you thin!, feel and act at wor!. The profile
that you will "enerate should "ive you a better understandin" of yourself and the
way you respond to situations and people in your wor! and people in your wor!
environment. =ou will also "ain insi"hts into the different behaviour patterns of
those with whom you wor! and the environmental factors that lead to satisfaction
and hi"h productivity for different individuals.
The *elf Awareness ;rofile is not a test. There are no ri"ht and wron" answers.
The scores you obtain and the profile that you draw will be !nown only to you and
anyone you elect to share it with. *uccess at wor!, whether in leadin" a "roup or
in bein" a productive team member, comes from !nowin" one's own behaviour
patterns and adaptin" them to meet the needs and demands of the situation.

In the first part of this exercise, you will "o throu"h 1 sets of four words. In each
set, you are to select the word that best describes your behaviour at wor! and
assi"n it the number 3. Then find the word that next best describes your behaviour
at wor!, assi"nin" it the number . The next best "ets a and the word that isleast descriptive of your behaviour at wor! "et the number 1. et's repeat the

your stron" and wea! dimensions. /or example, if you feel that one is stron" and
one is wea!, with the other two bein" avera"e, then you will have only two chec!
mar!s. %ut if you see two dimensions as your stron" or wea! ones, then indicate
this by chec! mar!. After you've "uessed your stron" and wea! dimensionBs2,

HOW THE DICE ROLL
The letters in the word DICE each stand for a different dimension of your
behaviour, D is Dominance , the drive to overcome barriers, see! challen"es andachieve results, I is Influence , the desire to win acceptance of others throu"h one's
popularity and ability to persuade. C is Conformity, the desire to wor! within
well defined standards and controls to assure compliance. E is E enness , the
desire to perform at a steady pace and maintain "roup harmony.
All of us display these four dimensions of behaviours, thou"h in different mixtures
and to different de"rees. As you read the descriptions of each that follow, wesu""est that you circle those phrases that are especially accurate in describin" you.
*imilarly, you mi"ht cross out those descriptions that do not apply to you.
Incidentally, it is sometimes useful to "et a close friend or someone who has
wor!ed with you for at least a year to read your edited descriptions, indicatin"
where they a"ree and disa"ree. ;eople are often very aware of some attributed
while blind to others.
7ow let's examine under the ma"nifyin" "lass each of the four dimensions of
behaviour that are summarised by the word DICE.
D , or Dominance , is the drive to overcome barriers, see! challen"es and achieve
results. ;ersons who are hi"h in $ are typically anxious to "et immediate results.
They accept challen"es readily, ma!e decisions )uic!ly and ta!e char"e of
situations so as to "et thin"s done. *tron"ly action oriented, they )uestion the
status )uo and loo! for new or better ways of achievin" results. They are happiest
when tac!lin" and overcomin" a difficult problem or obstacle.
H
8/13/2019 2.Leadership Situational Approach

;ersons hi"h in D would wor! best in an environment that "ives them a broad area
of operations, freedom from controls and red tape and minimal supervision. *uch
persons are fuelled by the need to achieve, by presti"e and by the challen"e of
their wor!. They see! out opportunity for individual accomplishment. They aremost productive when "iven difficult assi"nments, personal accountability, direct
answers and power and authority commensurate with the tas!.
8/13/2019 2.Leadership Situational Approach
31/113
*ince the hi"h I is a &people person& to the point of sometimes ne"lectin" the tas!
at hand, they need to wor! with others who can deal with thin"s as well as people,
developin" systematic ways of "ettin" the Fob done and providin" follow throu"h.The hi"h I sometimes needs help on mana"in" time effectively, appraisin" the
capability of others realistically, bein" firm and dispensin" discipline when
needed.
C or Conformity is the desire wor! within well defined standards and controls to
assure compliance. ;ersons who are hi"h in C are excellent at followin"
procedures and meetin" the prescribed standards. They concentrate on detail andare stic!ler for accuracy. The hi"h C is usually diplomatic with others and is an
analytical, deliberate thin!er. There is a "reat respect for authority, both of
individuals and systems Bpolicy, procedures, controls, standards2.
;ersons hi"h in C wor! best in an environment that is hi"hly structured and well
defined. *uch persons re)uire documentation of the Fob to be done standard
operatin" procedures, Fob descriptions, chec!lists, etc. They are "uardians of the
status )uo and watchdo"s who will assure that )uality controls and standards are
met. They often re)uire personal attention, close supervision, and reassurance that
they are doin" well Bfre)uent performance appraisal2 and stron" membership in
their wor! "roup.
The hi"h C is best utilised on wor! that is exactin" or precise in nature re)uirin"
careful trainin" and close attention to detail. A person hi"h in C should wor! with
others who can ma!e )uic! decisions and who re"ard policy as "uidelines rather
than law carved in stone. The hi"h + needs help in developin" a tolerance for the
imperfect nature of some Fobs and all people and a respect for personal worth as
well as accomplishment.

E , or :venness, is the desire to perform at a steady pace and maintain harmony.
;ersons who are hi"h in : are typically best at performin" an established wor!
pattern that re)uires patience and does not re)uire travel or chan"e ofenvironment. The hi"h : has typically developed specialised s!ills or technical
competence and is able to concentrate on a "iven tas! or proFect for a lon" period
of time. ;ersons hi"h in : are usually "ood at calmin" others, listenin" and
"ettin" the facts, stic!in" with an assi"nment and bein" loyal to the or"anisation.
In short, the E supports the status )uo and provides a steadyin" influence on the
wor! "roup.
;ersons hi"h in E wor! best in an environment that has stron" Fob security and
well established patterns and routines for "ettin" thin"s done. They need to "ive
and "et appreciation for wor! done well and are "ood team members. BIf they
have a family, this team membership is often most important and wor! must not
be allowed to interfere with their home life.2
The hi"h E wor!s in a methodical pattern, ta!in" one thin" at a time. Thus, it is
sometimes desirable to supplement this behaviour by wor!in" with others who can
deal effectively with chan"e, ta!e on new challen"es, exercise creativity, become
involved in more than one tas! and wor! well in unstructured situations where
outcomes are unpredictable.

on" before we were born Bnine months to be precise2, the DICE were thrown and
we received certain "enes and chromosomes from our parents. =ou probably
reco"nise in one or both of your parents some of the same characteristics that we
Fust used to describe the dimensionBs2 that you were hi"h in. Thus, heredity had a

%ut so did environment. The way in which you were raised, the people who have
influenced your life, the trainin" and education you received and the !inds of Fobs

development of these new behaviours.

SUMMARY
:ach of the four leadership styles tellin", sellin", participatin" and dele"atin" in
the &prescriptive curve& is a combination of tas! behaviour and relationship
behaviour.
!as #eha iour is the extent to which the leader provides direction for people,
settin" "oals and definin" their roles Be."., tellin" people what to do, when, where
and how to do it2.
Relationshi$ #eha iour is the extent to which the leader en"a"es in two way or
multi way communication Be". facilitatin" behaviour2.
!ellin B*12 tends to be most effective for low maturity individuals.
;eople who are both unable and unwillin" to perform a specific tas!
need clear directions and close supervision. In emphasisin" hi"h
tas! low relationship behaviour, *tyle one re)uires the leader to define
roles and to tell people what, where when and how to perform tas!s. At
the same time, supportive behaviour is minimised to avoid bein"
perceived as permissive or rewardin" of poor performance.
&ellin B* 2 tends to be most effective for low moderate maturity
individuals. ;eople who are willin" but unable to ta!e responsibility for
a need to display very directive behaviour but should also provide lar"e
amounts of supportive behaviour to reinforce followers' willin"ness and
enthusiasm. *tyle two is called &sellin"& because most of the direction

is provided by the leader, who now uses two day communication to
explain decisions and "ain follower support.Q
'artici$atin B* 2 tends to be most effective for moderate to hi"h
maturity individuals. /ollowers at this level BM 2 have the ability to perform the specific tas! but lac! confidence or enthusiasm. eaders
usin" this hi"h level of supportive behaviour, includin" two way
communication and active listenin". *tyle three is called &participatin"&
because the leader and follower share decision ma!in", with the primary
role of the leader shiftin" to facilitatin" and communicatin".
Dele atin B*32 tends to be most effective for hi"h maturity people who
are both able and willin" to perform the specific tas!. eaders usin"
this low tas! low relationship style demonstrate little directive or
supportive behaviour, because the followers are self motivated and re
capable of self direction.
4sin" the *ituational eadership Model, leaders assess the maturity
level of an individual or "roup and provide leadership as the model
prescribes( this tends to be the hi"h probability leadership style for the
"iven situation.
eaders can also use the model to help followers develop in maturity by
adFustin" leadership behaviour throu"h the four styles alon" the
prescriptive curve. This development cycle is accomplished throu"h a
series of two step processes( first, the leader reduces directive
behaviour to encoura"e the follower to assume "reater tas! relevant
responsibility second, as soon as performance improvement is noted,
the leader rewards the follower by increasin" supportive behaviour as
