Welcome to the “Applying Management Styles” video lesson, which explains how to use the readiness stairs model to gauge which management style to use depending on the person and task. In this lesson, learners will become familiar with the four steps on the readiness stairs and learn the appropriate management style to apply for each step. Ultimately, viewers should understand that there’s no single management style that works best—managers have to be flexible and leverage whatever style is most fitting for the situation.
