SituationalLeadership®

The need for effective leadership is greater than ever. A recent CMI report found that 43% of workers rate their line managers as ineffective, failing to recognise or support their talents. The Situational Leadership® model is arguably the most recognised, utilised and effective leadership and influence tool in the history of the behavioural sciences. Leaders who use the model are equipped with the necessary tools to navigate the demands of an evolving business landscape and an increasing diverse workforce.

So it’s no surprise that 70% of Fortune500™ companies consider the tool as a critical component of their leadership development strategy. It transcends cultural and generational differences with a success rate that speaks for itself. Situational Leadership® is a proven model of effective leadership that has endured the test of time. It’s a practical approach which helps your people to be more effective in achieving their goals, and shows you, as a leader, how best to respond to their performance needs. More than ever, businesses need well-equipped and adaptable leaders.

Participants who complete the online assessments (LEAD Self and LEAD Other) gain valuable insights into their primary leadership behaviours and the leadership styles they typically draw upon.

We can help you rise to the challenge.

Delivery Options

Situational Leadership®: Building Leaders is available in two different formats: instructor-led (both virtually and face-to-face inhouse) and blended in order to provide the flexibility that your organisation requires.

Situational Leadership®: Building Leaders – Instructor Led Training (ILT)

Our instructor-led Building Leaders programme gives an in-depth understanding of the Situational Leadership® model and its applications. It equips leaders with the necessary tools to skilfully navigate the demands of an increasingly diverse workforce and evolving global marketplace. It is available for inhouse delivery (both virtually and face-to-face) and we also have a selection of virtual public course dates for individuals to participate in.

Situational Leadership® certification can be awarded to an organisation’s internal trainer(s) who successfully complete(s) the three day Situational Leadership® programme.

The certificate is designed to equip trainers with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver licensed Situational Leadership® within their own organisation. A licensed ‘Administration Resource Kit’ is provided for each of the certificated trainers to deliver Situational Leadership® training in-house. Its use is restricted to the host organisation only and the licence remains valid as long as the organisation has their own certificated trainers.

The first part of the certificated process involves experiencing the Situational Leadership® programme as a participant. The aim is to ensure participants understand how the Situational Leadership® model can become a tool to help them interact with others in a way that focuses on performance, helping realise potential. Self-assessment and 360° feedback (online pre-work) of preferred leadership styles are introduced to enable specific development actions to be planned.

Participants then undergo ‘teach-back’ where they prepare and deliver an agreed section of the Situational Leadership® programme. Accurate demonstration of knowledge and understanding of the model will result in certification. (It should be noted that individuals’ training skills are not assessed).

Please note, this course can be delivered as virtual instructor led training (VILT), face to face, or it can be delivered with a blend of both formats. We will customise the content and duration in line with your learning and development requirements.
