Leadership Is Never One-Size-Fits-All

No two people have the same levels of confidence and competence in their work, so it makes sense that they would need different amounts of direction and support. Unfortunately, most managers generally have one leadership style that they apply to everyone, in every situation.

54%

of leaders use only one leadership style, regardless of the situation.*

Successful managers use different leadership styles depending on the occasion

50%

of the time, leaders are using the incorrect leadership style with their employees and don’t meet their needs.

THE BEST LEADERS ADAPT TO EACH SITUATION

Leaders give employees the right direction and support at the right time. They offer just the right amount of guidance and autonomy to help their team members succeed. They know how to develop competence and self-reliance, so that their team members can deliver results quicker for your organization

ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT

When employees are given the appropriate direction and support, their rate of development and growth accelerates, allowing them to deliver greater value to the company more quickly.

instill a common language

When everyone in an organization speaks the same language, you can avoid hours of frustrating discussion. A common language boosts effectiveness, minimizes miscommunication, and fosters a culture of high performers.

INCREASE RETENTION

Leaders who match their leadership style to the needs of their people make others feel valued and ultimately increase morale, engagement, and retention.

CREATE PROACTIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS

When employees feel that their managers truly care about them as people, they perform better, are more willing to take risks, and seek solutions to problems.

PROVEN, TIME TESTED^® LEADERSHIP MODEL

The SLII® model provides a simple, practical framework that helps your managers diagnose the needs of each person and provide the appropriate leadership style to meet those needs. Managers discover the four stages of development, from enthusiastic beginner (D1) to self-reliant achiever (D4), and ways to apply the corresponding directive and supportive behaviors, from directing (S1) to delegating (S4), to match the development needs of their team members.
