Assess undergraduate-level ability to apply Hersey‑Blanchard Situational Leadership theory: diagnose employee readiness (competence and commitment), select the matching leadership style (directing, coaching, supporting, delegating), and justify choices across concise workplace vignettes. For each scenario identify the readiness level, choose the most appropriate style, give a brief rationale tied to task complexity and development needs, and propose one immediate leader action; scope includes diagnosing, matching, adapting, and short implementation planning.
