Helping People Win at Work with Situational Leadership® II
Situational Leadership® II (SLII®) is the most widely taught leadership model in the world. SLII® provides leaders with a diagnostic approach for creating open communication and developing self-reliance in those they manage. It is designed to increase the frequency and quality of conversations about performance and development. As a result, competence is developed, commitment is gained, and talented individuals are retained.
SLII® is recognized as both a business language and a framework for employee development because it works across cultural, linguistic, and geographical barriers. The foundation lies in teaching leaders to diagnose the needs of an individual or a team and then use the appropriate leadership style to respond to the needs of the person and the situation.
Based on 30 years of research and corporate adoption, SLII® is proven to help develop leaders who excel at goal setting, coaching, performance evaluation, active listening, and proactive problem solving. By creating the systems needed to track performance and partnering, it has allowed users to clarify individual goals and ensure alignment with the organization’s goals. In addition, SLII® has helped companies increase the retention of “star” employees, improve individual and organizational development, and improve job satisfaction and morale at all levels.
