Directing
people or your subjects/subordinates/employees is the most significant factor
while you are leading a certain group of people so far. When you are a leader,
you have to direct your followers. Your followers should never ever get the
feeling that their leader is confused while directing.
That
is why; the leader should firstly believe himself and his thoughts as the most
perfect ones for direction. The self-belief of the leader would make his words
sound the best and great in all means. Only then, he would be in a decisive
situation to command his subordinates in a directive manner (Jackson & Marriott, 2012).
Your
juniors should know the fact that what you say is what you mean actually. Your
commandments delivered as direction must be accomplished or followed by in
letter and spirit. Your directions must be followed timely and accurately not
through adulteration or alteration. The employees should never have a feel that
their leader meant something out of his talks. The straight-forward commandment
or direction must be understood and followed in its simplified version.
This
would really enhance the confidence and belief on sides, the leader and the
follower’s side. There should not be any hassle and worries in the behavior of
the employee in compliance of the leader’s direction.
A
true leader would always analyze and access the capabilities and potentialities
of his employees with respect to the understanding of his relative direction
for them. A leader must himself have an understanding to know his employees
inner selves to get the best out of them. The best results can only be obtained
the time, the understanding level of a leader and its employee reaches at its
best (Salehzadeh, Shahin, Kazemi, & Barzoki, 2015).
The
leader is also best known and recognized by his best commandments and
efficient, clear directions only. One should inspire and hypnotize his
subordinates with his charisma as a leader of the house and with his insightful
directions delivered on right time. Then also, the employees would also love to
deliver their best in response to the wise directions delivered by their
employer/leader
Coaching of The Situational Leadership
Model
In
this type of situational leadership, coaching is practiced by the said leader
for its followers. In such cases the employee/the follower is not yet expected
to be expert enough to go and perform fully by himself.
Still
the employee would be well-guided and directed by the leader as the said leader
would certainly act as a coach in this very situation. The leader would have a
full screening of his follower. The follower can definitely stuck into some
different situations by case to case variations.
Here
the leadership quality would be shown by the real leader that he would start
supporting and guiding his followers by all means. He would make his follower
feel guided in all aspects of his working. This guidance and proper coaching is
expected by a genuine team leader in all the pertaining situations that would
make him distinctive from the rest of his staff.
There
must be a very strong approach narrated by a leader who would coach his
followers through thick and thin by all the time. A real coach or leader never
lets his follower feel de-moralized in any situation. He is the one who charges
his employees to its full and boosts up their Morale to get succeeded in all
segments of his professional career by developing skillful approach towards
some situation (Jackson & Marriott, 2012).
Supporting of The Situational
Leadership Model
The
leader is expected to behave efficiently in different given situations. That is
why; he is called as The Leader. In supporting phase, a leader is expected to
support a person who is probably a new-comer to the organization. He or she is
still incompetent and less self-driven. Such a follower looks to be less
energized in such situation. He or she does not look to be committed to the
organization of its leader.
Here,
the role of the leader starts in , when he starts supporting the new guy at its
premises as its follower. He invokes a new spirit and energy level into that
follower to simply do his best. The rest is not his part to make his work
perfect in the very beginning of his work.
The
employee should be fully ensured by the leader that he or she would be
well-supported by their leader in all circumstances.
Developing
good relations with your employee would make you feel good as a leader as well.
The support system provided by a leader proves the leadership quality of a leader
in true means (Richard C West, 2013).
Delegating of The Situational Leadership
Model
Delegating
skills are also considered as one of the best known characteristics in a
leader’s self. A leader would never be considered as the best leader until he
or she has not got capacity to delegate his powers among his followers to make
his operations run smoothly.
A
leader should supervise his follower by the end of the day with a very low and
less visible mode of direction through empowering his followers to a complete
level. The sub-empowerment of a true leader is always regarded by its
employees/followers.
The
true leader is always known by its Sub-Leaders. So, a leader should empower
maximum number of its potential Sub-leaders to further lead a certain group of followers.
Even
the leaders of the nation are also recognized by their quality to empower the
real stuff of people by the end of the day. Premier of a country is supposed to
appoint Governors of its sub-states in the country. The choice or selection
mode of Governors would further determine his leadership skills as how smartly
he chose or selected the ones best available for the said services
The
same is the case with the country head of certain organization that he or she
would have to appoint Head of the Regions first of all to smooth its
organizational operations all across the country (Ismail, Mohamed, Sulaiman, Mohamad, & Yusu, 2011).
