Who Should Attend:

Individual contributors and team members seeking to be more productive and satisfied at work, and potential leaders who do not currently have direct reports. Anyone who reports to managers trained in Situational Leadership II.

Course Overview:

On Day 1, you will learn about how to be part of an empowered workforce that results in accelerated development, higher performance, personal accountability, and increased motivation. The session is about you reaching your full potential and being a part of a workforce of self-leaders to power the organization. It is designed to ensure that you know how to develop the self-starting mindset you need to be more productive and also move the organization forward.

Key Concepts:

• Situational Leadership II: Learn the world’s most popular leadership model, taught from the perspective of the self-leader rather than the manager.
• Assumed Constraints: Learn to recognize those perceived barriers that can be transcended or avoided.
• Points of Power: Learn the five sources of power at work and how each can be activated to help achieve goals and experience greater autonomy and competence.
• Proactive Conversations: Learn how to seek the direction and support they need, and learn how to proactively conduct one-on-one conversations with your manager.

During Day 2, the Myers-Briggs Types will be reviewed, an MBTI assessment administered and temperament explored. This session will integrate the Myers-Briggs Types, temperament, and Situational Self Leadership® II. You will be able to take a more comprehensive inventory of your own strengths and blind spots. As a result of more accurately diagnosing what they are, you will be better equipped to partner with others to execute an action plan to help you be more effective on the job.

Key Concepts:

• Utilizing the Situational Leadership II Model as the organizing framework for individual development.
• Understanding a validated and researched model for individual differences using the MBTI Type Preferences and Temperament Theory.
• Identifying individual strengths and areas for development to self-reliance.
• Addressing individual needs and communication styles using personality preferences.
• Learning ways to capitalize on individual differences when working together.
• Applying the lessons in an action plan for when you return to your job.

Course Objectives:

• Getting what you need to be more self-reliant.
• Identifying personality differences in order to meet individual development needs.
