Leadership style sometimes must change with the readiness level of the employees. Which of the following employee readiness level scenarios would be best suited for adopting a structuring and telling leadership style?

Correct Answer: Option B — Where the employees are unable and unwilling or insecure.

The Situational Leadership model suggests a 'telling' or 'directing' style for employees who are both unable and unwilling or insecure. In this scenario, the leader must provide specific instructions and close supervision to ensure tasks are completed correctly while building the employee's confidence and competence through clear, structured guidance.
