Action-Centered Leadership

Action-Centered Leadership

Action-centered leadership is a model created by John Adair and states that effective
leaders accomplish goals and tasks through the efforts of the team they lead. To do
so, they must do three things in their leadership of groups.

1. Structure the task and make sure everyone knows what is expected.
2. Develop each team member, review and evaluate their outcomes, coach/motivate,
and support.
3. Coordinate the team’s workflow, resolve disputes, ensure compliance with rules,
and cause collaboration.
