Situational Leadership

The fundamental underpinning of the situational leadership theory is that there is no single best style of leadership. Effective leadership is task-relevant, and the most successful leaders are those who adapt their leadership style to the maturity ("the capacity to set high but attainable goals, willingness and ability to take responsibility for the task, and relevant education and/or experience of an individual or a group for the task") of the individual or group they are attempting to lead or influence.

A brief summary

The Situational Leadership training program allows employees to understand that effective leadership varies, not only with the person or group that is being influenced, but it also depends on the task, job or function that needs to be accomplished. Students participating in this class also become familiar with the four behaviour types and associated maturity levels. The goal of this session is to give students the necessary tools required in order to become an effective leader in different situations.

Is this course only theory and no practice ?

This is a very hands on session with many individual and team exercises. The activities are designed to reinforce and practice what concepts are covered. By the end of the day participants are stinulated and ready to apply the learning in their real situations.

How much time does it take to master diagnosis and flexibility ?

Every person learns at a different pace. Typically we have seen that participants get really good at diagnosis and flexing after three months of rigourous application in real life situation. Application is the key.

When should I learn situational leadership ?

This training helps everyone who is working in teams and needs to influence others to get their job done. It is especially useful to managers who have leadership and people development responsibilities.
