The Science Behind Developing Leaders
As founder of The Center for Leadership Studies and co-developer of the Situational Leadership® Model, Dr. Paul Hersey was internationally recognized as a leading authority on training and development in leadership and management. The author and coauthor of numerous papers, articles, and books, “Management of Organizational Behavior”, is a true reflection of 50 years of the most significant theory and research developed by thought leaders in the behavioral sciences. This work focuses on the applicability of the Situational Leadership® Model, along with the interaction of people, motivation and leadership. It was Dr. Paul Hersey’s goal to present a practical model that could be leveraged by a diverse spectrum of leaders for the express purpose of effective influence.

From the 1960s to present, the Situational Leadership® framework has remained an effective tool for leaders to match their behaviors with the performance needs of the individual or group that they are attempting to influence. |
