Situational Leadership® II Concepts

First-Time Managers

Becoming a first-time manager is one of the most challenging and critical career transitions. New managers are often chosen from high-performing individuals. These highly proficient doers quickly become struggling new managers, without the skills needed to succeed.

Situational Leadership II® Experience

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.

Leveraging all the theory and design that has made Situational Leadership® II the world’s most taught leadership training model, our new learning design, The SLII Experience, uses game-changing techniques that immerse learners in SLII quickly, deeply, and effectively.

Bringing together highly engaging classroom activities with pre- and post-tools helps reinforce, measure, and cement learning. Short, fast-paced learning scenarios using real work problems capture learners’ attention. The outcome is that learners get up-to-speed and start using SLII faster than ever before.”

Situational Leadership® II (SLII®) is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical method of effectively managing and developing people, time, and resources in the world. SLII is a model and a set of tools for opening up communication and helping others develop self-reliance. It is designed to increase the frequency and quality of conversations about performance and development between managers/ trainers and the people they work with so that competence is developed, commitment is gained and talented individuals are retained.
