Highlights
The SLII® Experience: Coaching & Developing Others
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.
Designed For
OSCPA members with 3 to 10 years of experience.
Objectives
- Define clearer and more compelling goals
- Accurately identify people’s development levels on goals and tasks
- Use appropriate amounts of direction and support to match people’s needs and to accelerate development and autonomy
- Have respectful and honest conversations that move people forward
