As we said before, each situation and person is different,
and it will require a leader to change their leading style to be successful.
Leaders have to approach each team, person and skill in different ways.
This means that you will have to adapt.
It is easy to say, but maybe you think it is not that easy to fulfill.
Therefore, the idea behind this can be resume as
that for any item, we can work with the following scheme.
First, imagine that you are a manager in a high risk industry.
You are going to develop, for example, "air traffic management systems".
Every new employee will start with some directing.
Not everybody comes with all the knowledge from home.
In this phase, you will tell people what to do and how to do it.
The manager or the supervisor is going to be a boss.
You will provide that new employee with all the directions
that he or she needs to take in order to fulfill the task.
It is assumed that the new employee will end up figuring out
what it is expected from him or her.
This can take some time, and as any other phase,
it will be longer or shorter depending on the worker.
We can say that this is going to be a directing phase.
After this, when our worker has won some skills,
but his or her potential is not fully developed,
we enter in the coaching phase.
Now, the leader will become more supportive
in order to help the employee to improve the new skills
and deepen the connection and trust between the worker and the leader.
This phase is very important because it's where we are setting
the foundations for a future strong commitment.
After this, we go to the next step.
Now, our team members are already competent in all their skills,
but not completely consistent in their performance
and probably, not totally committed to achieving the goals of the team,
like improving safety or achieving more aircrafts
taking off and landing at an airport.
During this phase, the leader will focus less in directing people
and more in sharing decisions and tasks.
What we are looking for here is to strength the bond
and the relationships between all the team members.
And finally, we are in the end phase.
Basically, here the leaders discover that their dreams come true.
Now, we have individuals with strong skills and commitment.
They are going to be able to work on their own,
taking responsibility, growing as workers, and specially,
allowing the supervisor to have less stress and more profit.
Now, the job of any leader is more monitoring
all the group progress and evolution.
Obviously we will need to take decisions
in order to correct deviations and to face new challenges
beyond our team members duties.
But this is the ideal path way.
In real life, we find that most of the leaders can use only one style.
Some of them can even use two styles.
And very few less can blend successfully three or even more styles.
Leaders need to learn in order to become more effective,
to learn the stage of development and to be able to fit
in the four different phases when it is needed.
And now, you have additional information
in order to get more knowledge about this after this video.
