Cover Story: This paper extends Situational Leadership Theory by reframing follower readiness as a four-dimensional construct of subjective readiness. Moving beyond the traditional focus on ability and willingness, the proposed 4D model integrates motivational drive, self-confidence, cognitive understanding, and communicative alignment as interrelated dimensions influencing leadership effectiveness. Using a cross-sectional design, this study examines relationships among subjective readiness, leadership adaptability, and employee outcomes. Results show that subjective readiness explains additional variance beyond established readiness measures, offering a more nuanced diagnostic lens and practical insights for leaders in dynamic work environments.
