  • A proven framework for Situational Leadership: Four developmental levels and four leadership styles that allow you to match your approach to each team member's readiness

About This Session

When it comes to leadership, there is no one size or one style that fits all. The challenges of leadership become opportunities when you understand how to lead in a dynamic and adaptive way. This highly interactive workshop focuses on three essential elements of effective leadership: Trust, Situational Leadership, and Executive Presence.

Through practical frameworks, self-assessments, breakout exercises, real-world scenarios, and guided reflection, you'll learn how to build deeper trust, adjust your leadership approach based on the situation, and maintain steadiness when it matters most. The session focuses on tools you can apply immediately to increase engagement, strengthen team performance, and sustain results without burning out yourself or others.

This workshop is designed for leaders who want to increase their effectiveness and impact, whether leading up, across, or down in the organization.

Topics Covered

Discover:

  • The Structure of Trust® and how trust is built through competency, problem-solving, and care for others

Learn:

  • How to diagnose where your team members are and adjust your leadership style accordingly, applying the Situational Leadership framework that has transformed leaders and organizations for over 50 years

Develop:

  • The composure and clarity needed to lead effectively under pressure, responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively
