The document discusses situational leadership theory, which proposes that leaders should adjust their leadership style to match the maturity level and willingness of their followers. It identifies four levels of follower maturity and the four corresponding leadership styles of directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating. Effective leaders apply different styles based on assessing where followers fall within the grid of willingness and ability.
