Situational Leadership: The Shift Every Leader Must Make to be Effective

Situational Leadership: The Shift Every Leader Must Make to be Effective

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify personal leadership styles

What is your leadership style? Do you handle everyone and every situation the same way despite the circumstances? One of the key qualities many great leaders share is the ability to adapt. The way you manage and lead depends on the needs of the situation and the people executing the tasks. Awareness of how these elements change and flow will enable you to adapt your style and preferences to meet the needs of the vision, mission and goals. You can’t be a leader if you don’t have followers or if you lack the ability to bring your vision to fruition.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Identify your personal leadership style
2. Explore leadership style model to discover ways to adapt your style
3. Participate in mock leadership challenges to practices adapting and applying situational leadership strategies
