The only way to lead AND manage!
The authors posed the material in a strange, story-like manner, but the message was clearly evident.
Situational
leadership
and its use in management was defined explicitly with the help of common examples in a business environment. Being unaware of this style of leadership has influenced me to now practice situational leadership both with work and my personal life. I recommend any
manager read
this. The authors simplistically explained the keys to eventually help
one lead
individuals to success in any situation.
An easy way to learn about leadership!

situational
leadership (1985) cuts to the heart of leadership without mincing words. It is clear, meaningful and concise in explaining how situational leadership is necessary. The one-sentence blurbs and charts aid in easier understanding. Although I found the book to be set in a cheesy environment, the story is interesting and does a good job articulating that many different leadership styles are effective. I discovered that a good leader should be flexible enough to lead different people in different ways, continually wanting the best for each of them. This book tells us that leadership is more than simply managing others, but it is about working alongside and encouraging them to be good leaders as well.

Great book for any leader or manager
This is an excellent book on
situational
leadership
. It outlines what would seem to be a simple process to becoming a situational leader. The examples given are relevant and the book was very easy to read. The most valuable concept I learned from the book was the concept of "different strokes for the same folks," meaning that you can use different leadership styles with the same person depending on the task at hand. The only thing I didn't really care for about this book was the way in which it was written. The whole book consists of conversations between "the entrepreneur," the "
one
minute
manager
," and the subordinates of the one minute manager. It was kind of cheesy at some times, but it got the point across loud and clear.
