Great leaders give their people what they need when they need it. That means having authentic conversations that empower and care about their growth, being their champion, and seeing their promise.
Leading situationally is a dramatic departure from management styles of the past. And it’s an approach that produces dramatically better returns than other management styles.
The Situational Leadership® (SLII) model holds that managers must use different leadership styles depending on the situation. The model allows you to analyze the needs of your problem and then use the most appropriate leadership style. Depending on employees' competences in their task areas and commitment to their tasks, your leadership style should vary from one person to another.
Situational Leadership® is a fluid leadership style in terms of the amount of direction and support that the leader gives to their followers for a given task or at a particular time in an employee’s development. SLII helps create successful leaders by enabling them to build deep relationships with individuals and team members, while creating opportunities to inspire and motivate in a meaningful way.
The webinar provides a framework for employee development that is central to effective leadership. The foundation of SLII lies in leaders learning to diagnose the needs of an individual and then use the appropriate leadership style to respond to the needs of the person.

Why Should You Attend
Situational Leadership is about understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all leadership style. Leaders should be able to adjust their approach based on the situation and the individuals involved.
- The Situational Leadership® model emphasizes assessing the "performance readiness" of team members, meaning their competence and commitment to a task or project, to determine the most effective leadership style.
- By matching leadership styles to the team's needs, leaders can foster a more engaged, motivated, and successful team.
- Situational Leadership® encourages open and honest communication, allowing leaders to better understand their team's needs.
Topic Background
For more than 50 years, the Situational Leadership® Model has enabled leaders at all levels of the organization to more effectively influence others. Our Situational Leadership® and Influence-focused courses enable leaders to engage in effective performance conversations that build trust, increase productivity, and drive behavior change.
Situational Leadership® focuses on equipping leaders with the skills to adapt their approach based on the specific needs and capabilities of their team members and the situation at hand, using a framework that emphasizes flexibility and performance-oriented conversations. The goal is to create a collaborative environment where leaders and team members work together to achieve results.
