Understanding SLII
Research shows that people need different levels of direction and support to perform at their best. A situational approach to leadership means everyone receives the type of direction and support they need from their leader. As an authorized channel partner of the Ken Blanchard Company, Cooper Consulting Group can deliver SLII® to help empower leaders with the right tools.
What is SLII?
Situational leadership II (SLII®) is the most widely used leadership training program in the world. It takes a situational approach to leadership in order to create successful connections that have a greater impact. With this approach, teams are more productive and engaged, and their organizations excel.
Who’s SLII for?
SLII is for individual managers and leaders who want to lead more effectively, as well as teams and organizations that want to develop inspiring leaders. The SLII suite of programs helps at all levels of an organization.
What does SLII measure?
The SLII experience focuses on teaching leaders how to interpret and respond to their environment. At the interpretation phase, managers diagnose the individual and the situation. Then, in the response phase, managers use the appropriate “directive” and “supporting” behaviors to help that person succeed.
What are the benefits of SLII?
The SLII approach effectively drives behavior change and accelerates employee development, in addition to developing leaders who excel at goal setting, coaching, performance evaluating, active listening, and proactive problem solving. The result is more dedicated leaders, more productive and engaged teams, and more successful organizations.
