SLII® Leadership Programme
SLII® International Leadership Training from Blanchard Aotearoa.
Day 1: Monday 11 November, 8.30am – 5pm
Day 2: Tuesday 12 November, 8.30am – 5pm
Create success with a situational approach to leadership
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.
The SLII® in person experience is a 2-day, 8 hours per day curriculum that uses a four-part learning path to ensure participants master the content and become situational leaders. The live in-person training provides the fullest content and the richest opportunities to practise new behaviours.
- LAUNCH – Engaging prework assignments, including an assessment, expedite the learning and help participants internalise the content to frame their thinking prior to class.
- LEARN – Activities teach leaders the skills and language to lead situationally and offer opportunities for direct participant interaction.
- PRACTISE – Leaders develop their new skills and practise their SLII® vocabulary in activities based on personal work challenges. They learn how to match their leadership style and practise SLII® conversations.
- APPLY – Tools and resources accessible after the sessions to help participants strengthen and sustain their skills in SLII®.
- UPSKILL – If you want to upskill and become a trained facilitator within your organisation you can go on to this as the next step. Click here for more information about Train the Trainer
