Situational leadership: leading and supporting a team or an individual

Situational leadership: leading and supporting a team or an individual

Different situations call for different management styles. Some teams require more attention than others. Some projects need close supervision, while others only need limited support. At times, emotions are allowed, while at other times, rational thinking is more appropriate.

In this practice-oriented training, the focus is on adapting your leadership style to the situation. How much support is needed, how much guidance, and to what extent should we focus on relationships or tasks? To achieve this, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of your natural leadership style.

The old style of directive leadership still has its place in some cases, but it is generally outdated and discourages employees. Today, employees expect to receive the support, guidance and encouragement they need.

Situational leadership therefore offers a practical model for managers wondering how to get the most out of their employees. By assessing each employee’s skill level and adapting the leadership style accordingly, everyone receives the support, guidance or encouragement they need.

This way you will help your employees to continuously develop and grow.

 Approach:

In order to effectively adapt your leadership style to each situation, this interactive training focuses on:

• Discovering your personal leadership style
• Applying other types of leadership styles
• Strengthening employees’ autonomy, responsibility, proactivity and resilience
• Promoting “effective monitoring”
• Strengthen your communication skills in a leadership and/or support role
