The Situational Leadership II model implies there is no one style of leadership. People should be managed according to the situation. Managers should diagnose the development level of their team members in relation to their work tasks and projects, then manage them using the appropriate leadership style. This model was first developed by Paul Hersey (late) and Ken Blanchard and has been updated by Ken Blanchard to Situational Leadership II. Below are the development levels and appropriate leadership styles.
