Program Description:

This program equips managers with the situational awareness needed to move beyond a “one-size-fits-all” leadership style. Participants will learn to read individual needs and adjust their approach—balancing direction and support based on a team member’s specific readiness and competence. By mastering these adaptive skills, leaders can eliminate micromanagement, reduce team dependency, and drive consistent performance.

Learning Objective:

•Assess Readiness: Accurately evaluate team member competence and independence to determine the most effective leadership style.

•Adapt for Performance: Flex between providing clear direction for learners and granting autonomy for experts to optimize results

•Close Performance Gaps: Use the Situational Leadership Check to identify the specific support needed to resolve individual performance issues

•Foster Independence: Apply adaptive leadership to build team confidence and reduce the need for constant leader intervention.
