SLII®. POWERING INSPIRED
LEADERS™
CREATE SUCCESS WITH A SITUATIONAL APPROACH TO
LEADERSHIP
The pace of change today is so disruptive that visionary leadership is a requirement. Managers need a leadership training program that helps them be agile, lead situationally, and empower their people to succeed.
SLII®, the most widely used leadership training program in the world, teaches leaders how to build meaningful connections with coworkers that create exponential impact. When this happens, employees are more productive and engaged. And their organizations excel.
SLII is far more than a powerful leadership training program. It delivers exceptional ROI across the enterprise.

USING ONLY ONE LEADERSHIP STYLE DOESN’T CREATE
MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
Research shows that employees need different levels of direction and support depending on their level of competence and commitment. But most managers use only one leadership style—and the results are costly: turnover, disengagement, diminished productivity, missed opportunities, and more.
54%
of leaders use only one leadership style, regardless of the situation.*

50%
of the time, leaders are using the wrong leadership style to meet the needs of their people.

GREAT LEADERS BUILD MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
Great leaders give their people what they need, when they need it. That means having authentic conversations that empower. Caring about their growth. Being their champion. Seeing their promise.
Leading situationally is a dramatic departure from management styles of the past. And it’s an approach that produces dramatically better returns than other management styles.


ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT

SPEAK A COMMON LANGUAGE
When managers and team members speak the same language, misunderstandings, micromanaging, and frustration fade away. Issues that were once emotionally charged become productive exchanges.

IMPROVE RETENTION
Leaders who match their style to the needs of their people improve morale, commitment, and engagement. Who would leave a job like that?

UNLOCK CREATIVITY
Research shows that employees who feel supported by their manager are far more engaged—and that is the foundation of innovation.

PROVEN, TIME-TESTED
LEADERSHIP MODEL
SLII is an easy-to-understand, practical framework that enables your managers to diagnose the development level of an employee for a task: D1 – Enthusiastic Beginner; D2 – Disillusioned Learner; D3 – Capable, but Cautious, Contributor; and D4 – Self-Reliant Achiever. Managers then use the appropriate directive and supporter behaviors to help them succeed: S1 – Directing; S2 – Coaching; S3 – Supporting; and S4 – Delegating.
Our award-winning learning design, The SLII Experience™, incorporates Blanchard’s latest research and state-of-the-art design theory. This creates a learning experience that allows for quick mastery of the methodology and enables managers to help their direct reports soar to new professional heights.
