Situational Leadership
The fundamental underpinning of the situational
leadership theory is that there is no single "best"
style of leadership. Successful leaders can
change their leadership styles based on the
maturity of the people they're leading and the
details of the task.

Decision Making. Choice Between Two Options.
 Draw visual line on a floor
o The center of the line is the “now” moment
o On the one end of the line there is choice #1
o On the other end there is the choice #2
 Stand on “now” marker facing one of the choices
 Start moving backward to one of the choices
 While moving, feel how you are approaching one of the choices, but leaving the other
 While moving, tell how you will be approaching the choice.
o Come to a city of relocation to get more familiar with it
o Prepare documents for relocation
o Sell the car
o Moving the furniture out of the rent flat
o Do the same movement to the other side
o When done both sides, stand on the “now”, close the eyes, put your arms on sides, find the balance
 You should move with your back to the choice you are
approaching. You should “see” the choice you are
leaving

Chocolate of Lady Godiva
Be careful when using this technique – you hardly can like doing everything
 Create a motivational picture about something that you enjoy doing e.g. eating chocolate;
 Visualize a task picture about the activity, that you need to do and you would like doing it with pleasure;
 Ask yourself about resistance caused by the task picture. Stop the technique in case of strong
disagreement;
 Visualize the task picture in front of the pleasure picture;
 Create a small hole in the task picture, so you can see the pleasure one through it;
 Widen the hole till you get pleasant feeling from the pleasure picture;
 Start closing the hole in task picture, but keeping the feeling of pleasure picture;
 Do the steps 3 times. The point is to stick the task picture with pleasant feeling from the pleasure picture;
 Check how your motivation about the task has changed;
