Leadership and Management Training Program Description

Situational Leadership II

Situational Leadership II is the most comprehensive and up-to-date, yet practical, method in the world for developing people into self-reliant achievers. Using the Situational LeadershipII Model, managers and their direct reports are able to create a partnership. It teaches managers to analyze, diagnose, think, and apply leadership concepts effectively in any situation. By creating a partnership instead of the typical top down “boss-employee” relationship, managers are able to engage and develop their employees faster and more effectively.

Pre-Session Impact Mapping

The Situational Leadership II course begins with a series of interviews with the specific agency and its leaders and their direct reports to determine specific goals for that agency. The interviews also identify each job title or manager, leadership competencies necessary for reaching goals, progress toward these competencies, gaps in leadership, and issues managers experience in their day-to-day work. The information gathered from these interviews is then compiled into one report that links the outcomes of attending the course to the competencies and specific goals of the specific agency and its participant managers. The report is presented to the agency sponsor(s) prior to the training session so they can see the value of developing their leaders using Situational Leadership II as the methodology.

Major Course Objectives

As a result of participation in this course, managers will learn to:

• Proficiently diagnose developmental levels of their direct reports
• Match leadership styles—communications and behavior—to development levels
• Create a common language and approach to leadership that permeates the agency’s culture
• Shift intentions into behaviors, and behaviors into accountability
• Develop highly skilled, flexible leaders who can develop and retain people

Course Learning Design

The Situational Leadership II training session consists of two days of instructor-led classroom training using a variety of adult learning methods. The class is divided into modules that explore the basis for becoming a Situational Leader, describe the skills necessary to be a highly effective leader, and then provide participants with opportunities to practice those skills in the context of real-work situations.
