SLII® Situational Leadership training
Most managers lead everyone the same way. The SLII Experience™ teaches them to give each person the right mix of direction and support for the task in front of them. ClarkMorgan has been a Blanchard business partner since 2021 and delivers SLII in English, Mandarin or both.
Diagnose, then match
Diagnose the development level
For each task, managers learn to spot where a person is: D1 Enthusiastic Beginner, D2 Disillusioned Learner, D3 Capable but Cautious Contributor, D4 Self-Reliant Achiever.
Match the leadership style
Then they use the right directive and supportive behaviour: S1 Directing, S2 Coaching, S3 Supporting, S4 Delegating.
Set clear goals
Agreed goals give manager and employee something concrete to diagnose against.
Partner for performance
Regular partnering conversations replace the once-a-year review, so people get the help they need when they need it.
Build a full leadership journey
- Self Leadership: individual contributors learn to ask for the direction and support they need
- Coaching for People Leaders and Managers
- Building Trust: a shared language for trust, and how to repair it (half day in person, or three 2-hour virtual sessions)
- New Managers, Team Leadership and Leading Virtually™
- Conversational Capacity, Adapting to Change and Legendary Service®
How it runs
In person, SLII runs as one day (8 hours) or two days (16 hours). Virtual and blended formats suit teams spread across cities. All Blanchard materials and licences are included in the programme price.
