Need a fresh leadership approach to crush your goals?

We’re about half way through 2025. How are you progressing on your 2025 goals? 

Performance management should be straightforward: 1) goals + 2) skills + 3) a great relationship with your manager. Which one do you or your team find the toughest?

This formula aligns so well with Situational Leadership. I learned about the SLII model about a decade ago and instantly loved the simplicity and application of it. To me, the model is “paint by numbers” to achieve excellence in #1 goal setting, #2 evaluating team member skills and #3 helping managers helping managers adjust their leadership style to support team learning and performance.

The model suggests that effective leaders can shift between four primary styles:

1. Telling: High directive, low supportive

2. Selling: High directive, high supportive

3. Participating: Low directive, high supportive

4. Delegating: Low directive, low supportive

We all know: leadership is not easy. The key to effective leadership here is to skillfully assess the readiness of your team members and adjust your approach accordingly by thoroughly understanding their abilities and motivation. This requires self-awareness, adaptability, and killer communication. You might be shifting your approach in the same 1:1 conversation tackling different topics or goals.

Bottom-line: Situational Leadership can help you crush the rest of your 2025 and beyond. Here is how:

• Improved team performance: By adjusting your leadership style to fit each person, you can get the best out of your team.

  
  

• More engaged employees: When people feel supported and empowered, they're more likely to be engaged and motivated.

  
  

• Better leadership skills: By trying out different leadership styles, you can become more agile and improve your coaching abilities.

I’m certified in the model and have been delivering Situational Leadership workshops to a number of clients for 10+ years. Eager to take your performance to another level? Let’s talk.
