Do I Instruct, Show or Delegate When Working With My Staff?

Do I Instruct, Show or Delegate When Working With My Staff? There is no one best management style, the best managers diagnose the needs of their people and use a combination of direction & support, In essence a leadership style that is both appropriate to the task and to the situation. While this may seem like common sense, it is rarely practiced.

According to Ken Blanchard, only 1% of managers use all 4 leadership styles.

Matching Style To Developmental Needs

The goal is to match the appropriate management style to the individual’s development level. Learning how to do this requires the ability to assess the individual’s development level and choose and deliver the right style for the situation. When you match your style to the individual’s development level, competence, motivation, and confidence grow. On the other hand, over-supervising or under-supervising can have a negative impact on performance, confidence, and motivation.

• Directing (Telling), the manager tells the employee what, when, and how to accomplish the goal or task and provides frequent follow-up and feedback.
• Coaching, the manager directs but also incorporates praising, encouraging, and listening. In essence, the manager consults with the individual but retains control over decision making and problem solving.
• Supporting, the manager encourages and facilitates, drawing the employee out and soliciting his or her feedback and suggestions.
• Delegating, the manager empowers the individual to act independently with appropriate resources to get the job done. The intention is for the leader to provide minimal direction and support because the employee is a peak performer.
