Welcome back to another enlightening episode with Dr. Ken Rethmeier where we delve into the art of leadership. In this episode, we journey through the teachings of Rethmeier's book, utilizing models and tools designed to enhance your role as a leader. This episode specifically focuses on a unique decision-making model known as the TELL-SELL Model, developed by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren Schmidt, published in the Harvard Business Review in the 1950s.

The TELL-SELL model provides a blueprint for leading more efficient meetings, establishing feasible expectations, and empowering your team with improved knowledge and confidence. Ken leads you through the process of tailoring this model to fit the attributes of your own team or organization. To that end, since these are videos, you can see what the models and tools actually look like for your benefit to learn how to use them in your own journey!

By offering insights into common challenges, misunderstandings, and possible solutions, the session helps leaders to improve their decision-making process. The TELL-SELL model encompasses five different styles of decision-making - TELL, SELL, TEST, CONSULT, and JOIN -, which address the various degrees of team participation and can be applied depending on the situation and organization.

Increase productivity, ignite creativity, and build trust within your team using this proven technique. The episode offers pragmatic recommendations on how to implement these strategies and includes a downloadable agenda format as an additional resource. End your day feeling empowered and equipped with the tools to make your next meeting a success. Click on the URL above & download a copy of the "Tell-Sell" Model Agenda for your own use!
