Highlights
Situational Leadership SLII®
Today’s challenges demand a situational approach to leadership: Leaders are under pressure. They’re managing change, leading hybrid teams, and navigating complex challenges—all while trying to keep people engaged and drive results.
But most leaders aren’t set up for success. Without a clear approach to leadership, they rely on a single style, even as the needs of their people evolve.
SLII® changes that. It gives leaders a proven, practical framework to adapt their leadership style based on the situation and the person. They build trust, improve performance, and help people reach their goals faster.
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.
Designed For
OSCPA members with 3 to 10 years of experience.
