Ken Jones $21 Ken Jones was a former British Lions, Wales and Newport wing as well as a sprinter good enough to win an Olympic silver medal. He died at the age of 84 in 2006. Jones started his rugby career with local side Blaenavon and Pontypool before joining Newport in time for the 1946-47 season. He won 44 caps for Wales – 43 of them in consecutive matches – which was a Welsh record until overtaken by Gareth Edwards. Jones scored 17 tries for Wales. He also played three Tests for the British and Irish Lions during the 1950 tour to New Zealand. An all-round athlete, Jones represented Britain at the 1948 Olympics in London and won silver in the 4x100m relay. He and his teammates were actually presented with gold medals because the USA were disqualified. But he had to return the medal because the USA had been reinstated! Jones captained Britain at the European Games in Berne in 1954 and represented Wales at the Empire Games in 1954 in Vancouver. He was the Welsh sprint champion for seven consecutive years, using that pace on the rugby field to score 146 tries in 293 games for Newport, captaining the side in 1950-51 and 1953-54. For his services to sport, Jones was awarded the OBE in 1960. |

The Situational Leadership Model: Tips for Busy Managers
The Situational Leadership Model was developed by Ken Blanchard of The One-Minute Manager fame, and is a helpful tool for leaders and managers to improve their self-awareness of their own leadership style, and more importantly to match their managerial style to the situation at hand.
The Situational Leadership Model suggests four distinct leadership styles that can be used by managers which are discussed below. The Situational Leadership Model is widely used by many companies around the world, and is easy to understand and implement. It simply states that there is no optimal leadership style, but rather style should be selected according to the situation.
The Situational Leadership Model
The Situational Leadership Model requires that leaders assess each one of your employees on their levels of competence and commitment on a task. This will obviously vary between employees, and will also vary from task to task. In other words, one employee may be extremely competent and committed at one task, but have very low levels of competence and commitment at a second task. As such, the Situational Leadership Model suggests that a manager adjust his or her style accordingly.
Definitions for the Situational Leadership Model
Competence: The knowledge or skill level as it pertains to a goal or task.
Commitment: The motivation or confidence as it pertains to a goals or task.
If you are unsure of whether a performance issue is due to competence or commitment, You Can use the crude (but effective) “gun to the head” test. If a person could adequately complete a goal or task when forced to, and it’s not getting done, you have a commitment problem. If, when forced, a person can still not complete a goal or task, your have a competence problem. Remember this distinction as we further describe the Situational Leadership Model.
The Four Management Styles of the Situational Leadership Model
S1: Directing (Telling)
Task Focus: High
Relationship Focus: Low
Decisions: Made by Leader and announced
Communication: Mostely one way
Competence Level: Low
Commitment Level: High
Supervision: Close supervision required
S2: Coaching (Selling)
Task Focus: High
Relationship Focus: High
Decisions: Made by leader, but with input
Communication: Two-way
Competence Level: Some, but still needs development
Commitment Level: Lower, as a result frustration from the learning curve
Supervision: Still required, as is support and praise to build self-esteem
S3: Supporting (Participating)
Task Focus: Low
Relationship Focus: High
Decisions: Many belong to the follower, facilitated by the leader
Communication: Two-way, consultative
Competence Level: Adequate to high
Commitment Level: May lack confidence or motivation
Supervision: Not much direction required, as core competence is in place. Support is required
S4: Delegating
Task Focus: Low
Relationship Focus: High
Decisions: Manager involved in problem solving, but decisions mostly belong to the employee
Communication: Two-way, but reduce in frequency with high level of competence and autonomy
Competence Level: High
Commitment Level: High
Supervision: Minimal supervision and/or support required.
While the Situational Leadership Model is helpful to frame up performance issues and the appropriate managerial style to address them, it is important to remember that the model is not linear, and employees will not progress through the stages in a linear fashion. Some people may skip some of the steps completely, or only be there for a short time.
The Situational Leadership Model process
Now that you understand the four leadership styles of the Situational Leadership Model, it's time to put this knowledge to work. Here is a quick summary of the suggested process:
1. Prepare a list or spreadsheet that lists your employees, and the core tasks you need them to execute.
2. Assess each employees development level at each task based on your evaluations of their competence and commitment
3. Match the appropriate leadership style to the development level of the person on that task.
4. Lead and manage according to this information. Don’t hesitate to engage your people in this discussion.
5. As always, you should have a performance plan that you review regularly with your employees.
3 Things to Remember about the Situational Leadership Model
- You will have a tendency to prefer one style more than others! Understand what your preferences are, and recognize when it might not be a good match. Work to improve your comfort and ability with the other styles of the Situational Leadership Model.
- Take the training. What is listed above is intended to be an overview of this tool. For maximum benefit, you should take a course offered by a certified facilitator of the Situational Leadership Model.
- Check your diagnosis often. People will move through the different development levels, and your leadership style needs to change accordingly.
