So, we've seen the four different combinations of ability and attitude that can allow us to assess accurately the needs of someone will eating. The next question is what are the four styles of leadership that go with that? The start to answering that question is to recognize that leadership combines two very different behaviors. Firstly, there are supportive behaviors that make people feel good about themselves and increase their confidence and enthusiasm for a task. And secondly, there's instruction which tells people what to do and how to do it. Therefore, our four leadership styles for everyday leadership are going to come Buying both instruction and support in different combinations to meet the needs of the people we're leading.

So let's start off with our confident, enthusiastic, but low ability learner who needs no real support because they got plenty of enthusiasm, plenty of confidence, but what they do need is clear and precise instruction. So, our first style of leadership is to instruct. So we give a high level of clear instruction, simple tasks simply described. These make sure that a person can do something effectively and safely and grow in their confidence. But we don't need a lot of support. Now, notice crucially that low support is not the same as no support Someone develops a little bit, they find that they still haven't gained much ability.

But now their confidence is starting to wane. their enthusiasm for the task goes down, because they've had some setbacks. They've reached the level of conscious incompetence. Now, for someone who has that low level of ability, but also with that lower level of attitude, we need to continue to give them high levels of instruction. But now we need to also supplement that with higher levels of support as well. We call that style of leadership persuading, because we're metaphorically putting our arm around the person and saying, This is how to do it and have confidence.

Take it on you will succeed which is very much as I described my father acting when I lost confidence at the early stages of my driving lessons. Now for someone who has higher levels of ability, but has varying levels of confidence in their theism, because sometimes things go well, and sometimes they don't go quite so well, well, but this person, they need a fair amount of support to coax them through their periods of lower confidence and lower self esteem regarding that task, but they don't need a lot of instruction. In fact, if you give too much instruction, you will undermine their confidence by effectively saying, I don't believe in you, I'm going to tell you how to do it. You do believe in them, and you need to let them learn how to do it for themselves and to perfect their skills. So you need to withdraw some instruction.

Know that this is low instruction, not no instruction. How much instruction you apply is very much a matter of judgment, but you will need to ramp up the level of support you give to meet the dip In their enthusiasm, their morale and their confidence. So we're going to call this style of leadership assisting. But what about someone who not only has all the skills but know they have all the skills, they have high levels of confidence, high levels of enthusiasm, because they have high levels of ability, their attitude is high, their ability is high. You don't need to provide them with very much instruction at all. Just tell them exactly what you need done.

And when you need it done by and leave them to it and leave them to it. You don't need to provide them with a lot of support because they could support themselves. Thank you very much. They're confident they're enthusiastic. Anything you do to tell them that they're doing well, is unnecessary. This is a leadership style, which I call interesting.

So you can see now that we have our four day to day leadership styles for someone that has low levels of ability, but lots of confidence and accuracy. Asthma, high attitude, we're going to instruct them. But for someone who has that low level of ability but doesn't have a strong attitude, their confidence is low, their enthusiasm is low, then we're going to persuade them. For someone who has got ability, they just don't know it completely yet. And therefore their attitude is somewhat lower because their confidence and enthusiasm is burying. We need to assist them, give them plenty of support.

And finally, for someone who knows what they're doing, their ability level is high. Their attitude level is high there enthusiasts. They're able to trust in trust the task to them for leadership styles for effective day to day leadership.
