As part of my Master’s Degree I wrote a thesis on some research I did. You can download it if you want. It’s about Situational Leadership, which is an interesting old-school model for management and one connected to many similar models that have shared origins in time and concept. I wrote up a basic explanation of Situational Leadership over at this page, if you’re interested. I’d like to write up what I learned in an essay format in some way, and this is the beginning of that effort.

These two-factor theories of management from which Situational Leadership emerged have lost some luster in recent years as models such as Transformational Leadership have come into favor, but I find them to still be useful. I’m also interested in learning and thinking a little bit more about how the various models relate to one another. I’m going to try to write about that too, and this post is also the home for that writing I intend to do.
