Situational leadership has been consolidated as one of the main theoretical frameworks for contemporary management, especially in complex environments such as logistics operations. This article aims to analyze the practical application of the situational model proposed by Hersey and Blanchard in the logistics context, highlighting its direct impact on team productivity and the development of a healthy organizational climate. Based on a literature review, the study explores aspects related to the adaptation of leadership style according to employee maturity, the challenges imposed by globalized supply chains, and the role of communication as a tool for cohesion. Empirical studies are also presented, showing how flexible leadership contributes to reducing operational failures, fostering intrinsic team motivation, and driving innovation in critical transportation and storage processes. It is concluded that the development of leaders capable of alternating between directive and delegative styles, according to the needs of the logistics environment, is essential for building more resilient, productive, and human-centered organizations.
