This one-day workshop provides new managers and supervisors with a complete understanding of Situational Leadership® concepts and use of the model. The course is taught with particular emphasis on hands-on experience at diagnosing situations and practical real-life applications.
Module 1: Influencing the Performance of Others
The workshop begins by defining what leadership is: "Leadership is an attempt to influence, and effective leadership is adapting your behavior to the performance needs of the individual or group." The three main components of leadership: diagnosing, adapting and communicating are determined. Being able to identify the task, in each situation, is the first step toward becoming an effective leader.
Module 2: Assessing Employee Readiness
With the task clearly identified, or diagnosed, determining the needs of the individual or group becomes the next step. A person's readiness level is their ability and willingness for the given task. Without knowing the readiness level, effectively adapting a leadership style becomes impossible.
Module 3: Leader Behavior
This module focuses on two components of leadership style: task and relationship behavior. Participants explore a range of leadership styles and learn to match management behavior to their employee’s readiness level. This flexibility is the foundation for Situational Leadership®. Applying the model to everyday management work helps each participant be more effective.
