Situational leadership focuses on the following three competencies deemed necessary for success. Diagnosing is a cognitive—or cerebral—competency. It is the understanding of what the situa-tion is now and knowing what it can reasonably be expected to be in the future. The discrepancy between the two is the problem to be solved. This discrepancy is what the other competencies are aimed at resolving. Adapting is a behavioral competency. It involves adapting behavior and other resources in a way that helps close the gap between the current situation and what the leader wishes to achieve. Communicating is a process competency. Leaders need to communicate ef-fectively. If leaders cannot communicate in a way that people can understand and accept, they will be unlikely to meet their goals.
