This lecture begins with introducing us to successful and effective leadership. Then we discuss the notion of follower readiness followed by the notion of leadership behaviour. At the end of the lecture we construct The Situational Leadership model and apply it to practise.

Assignment after the lecture: Think about yourself a situational leadership. Is there one (or two) certain leadership styles that you are inclined to use; are some styles that you use very rarely. This is a good model also to be used among colleagues and teachers at school. After a brief presentation about the model, you could ask others’ opinion on your leadership style and begin a fruitful discussion on leadership in general and on developing your own leadership behavior.
