Leadership styles vs follower maturity/readiness

Leadership style might vary from one person to another, depending on the "readiness" of subordinates, which is characterized by their skills and abilities to perform the work and their confidence, commitment, and motivation to do it.

There are four level of follower maturity (readiness):
1. Unable and unwilling
2. Unable but willing
3. Able but unwilling
4. Able and willing

Four leadership styles can best address these four levels of maturity (readiness):
1. Directing
2. Coaching
3. Supporting
4. Delegating

A leader might also apply different styles to the same person at different times.
