You can <a href=\"https:\/\/jeffhottinger.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Hottinger-Jeff-Thesis-Utility-of-Situational-Leadership-to-Retail-Managers.pdf\">download it<\/a> if you want. It&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/jeffhottinger.com\/situationalleadership\">this page<\/a>, if you&#8217;re interested. I&#8217;d like to write up what I learned in an essay format in some way, and this is the beginning of that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two-factor theories of management from which Situational Leadership emerged have lost some luster in recent decades as models such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Transformational_leadership\">Transformational Leadership<\/a> have come into favor, but I find them to still be useful. I&#8217;m also interested in learning and thinking a little bit more about how the various models relate to one another. There was a nice relatively modern study about the current relevance of the two-factor theories, but I haven&#8217;t been able to relocate it yet since I finished my dissertation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done a training at work in the past where I try to expand the concept of management\/leadership slowly from a singularity of authority into a binary of democratic or authoritative, and then into a spectrum of the two, and then into two spectrums which form a grid. It&#8217;s not a true history of how these models emerged, but it is a convenient way I&#8217;ve come to understand the 2-factor models and approachable for new managers. I&#8217;m trying to distill this idea into a slide-show to post to LinkedIn at the moment (early 2024), but am finding it requires too many words to make a compelling slide show so far. Might just have to be a video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post discusses the author&#8217;s exploration of two-factor theories in management, particularly Situational Leadership.
