Proven, time-tested leadership model
SLII® is an easy-to-understand, practical framework that enables managers to diagnose the development level of an employee for a task: D1 – Enthusiastic Beginner; D2 – Disillusioned Learner; D3 – Capable, but Cautious Contributor; and D4 – Self-Reliant Achiever. Managers then use the appropriate directive and supportive behaviours to help them succeed: S1 – Directing; S2 – Coaching; S3 – Supporting; and S4 – Delegating.
Our award-winning learning design, The SLII Experience™, incorporates Blanchard’s latest research and state-of-the-art design theory. This creates a learning experience that allows for quick mastery of the methodology and enables managers to help their direct reports soar to new professional heights.
Great leaders build meaningful connections.
Great leaders give their people what they need, when they need it. That means having authentic conversations that empower. Caring about their growth. Being their champion. Seeing their promise.
Leading situationally is a dramatic departure from management styles of the past. And it’s an approach that produces dramatically better returns than other management styles.
54% of leaders use only one leadership style, regardless of the situation.
WHICH MEANS 50% of the time, leaders are using the wrong leadership style to meet the needs of their people.1
