Course Overview:

This is the first in a series of four sessions leading to a Credential in Leadership Skills from NWPPA; it is also the prerequisite for Leadership Skills Series Session #3 - Personalities & Attitudes in the Workplace.

Situational Leadership® II (SLII) is recognized as both a business language and a framework for employee development that transcends cultural, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. Its 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.

Learners will stretch their comfort zone and participate in challenging activities that require them to demonstrate their familiarity with SLII content, and teach them how to integrate material into their own personal leadership style.

Course Objectives:

• Diagnose the development levels of employees and choose the appropriate leadership style
• Increase the frequency and quality of conversations about performance and development
• Create a communication model for all levels of the organization to support cultural change and move toward a high-performance organization
• Become a flexible leader who is highly skilled at goal setting, coaching performance evaluation, active listening, feedback, and proactive problem solving
• Increase individual and organizational accountability by linking goals and planned intentions to an action plan
• Learn a new language of leadership to partner for maximum productivity and morale
