Sorry, we don’t have any upcoming dates available for individuals.
All of our training courses can be tailored specifically for your team or organisation and presented at your offices, at another suitable location or virtually.
Overview
Every leader is different and there is not one leadership style for every situation. Situational leadership allows you to adapt your leadership style to each specific task to meet the needs of your team at any given time.
By adopting this technique, become a stronger problem solver, complete tasks more effectively and ensure your staff are achieving their full potential.
Attend our Situational Leadership training course to understand the theory behind Situational Leadership, use interactive exercises to learn how to apply the different models and gain expert advice to help you chose the techniques that best suits you.
Leave the day with a range of tools and an action plan that you can apply back at your organisation.
Why is it Important for the Public Sector to Use Situational Leadership?
"In the public sector, leaders learn to expect the unexpected. Many senior roles are affected by the shifting political climate – and leaders have become used to leading in a VUCA world – of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
Being able to adapt to the situation you are facing is essential. If a news story blows up overnight affecting your project – be it vaccine roll-out, benefits policy, local elderly care etc.. – it will impact your team, and any leader needs to be able to respond, adapt, re-engage and re-set the direction." - Kate Sturdy
