What do you learn during the Situational Leadership course?
During this in-depth day you learn to consciously adapt your leadership style to the employee, the task and the context. You work with the four styles of instructing, coaching, supporting and delegating. You learn to recognise levels of development, to switch without causing confusion and to steer on ownership. Afterwards you will have concrete tools to apply situational leadership straight away in your day-to-day practice.
How long does the situational leadership course take and what is the delivery format?
The Situational Leadership course consists of one in-depth day and is taught in a classroom setting. You work in a group led by an experienced trainer, alternating short bursts of theory with exercises, reflection and discussion of your own workplace situations. The classroom format also means you learn from the experiences of the other managers in the group.
What prior knowledge do you need for the Situational Leadership course?
For the advanced day in situational leadership you need a basic knowledge of and experience with leadership. This can be through the Leadership Basics course or comparable practical experience in a management role. The course is intended for managers who want to sharpen their style, so you already have experience in managing staff.
Who is the situational leadership course suitable for?
The Situational Leadership course is intended for managers who have taken Leadership Basics or have comparable practical experience and want to sharpen their style. You will benefit from this advanced course if you manage a team with different levels of experience, want to get staff working independently sooner, or are looking for guidance on the question: when do I direct and when do I let go?
What is the difference between situational leadership and leadership in general?
Situational leadership means consciously adapting your style to the employee, the task and the context, instead of always using the same approach. You work with four styles: instructing, coaching, supporting and delegating. For each situation you choose the style that matches the employee's level of development. This prevents experienced people from being over-managed or newcomers from being given too little guidance.
Which leadership styles do you learn to apply during the Situational Leadership course?
You learn to apply four leadership styles: directing, coaching, supporting and delegating. For each style you discover what it involves, when to use it and how to put it into practice. You practise switching between styles based on the task, the employee's level of development and the context. That way you consciously match your approach to what someone needs at that moment.
How do I know whether situational leadership suits me better than a general coaching leadership course?
Coaching leadership focuses on one style: asking questions, giving space and allowing employees to grow through reflection. Situational leadership teaches you to apply four styles, namely instructing, coaching, supporting and delegating, and to switch consciously based on the task and the employee's development level. Choose situational leadership if you notice that the same approach produces varying results with different employees, or if you manage a team with widely differing levels of experience. Choose a pure coaching course if your employees are mainly experienced and independent and you want to deepen your conversation technique. This in-depth day is aimed at managers with basic experience who are looking for guidance on the question of when to direct and when to let go.
How does this in-depth day differ from reading a book about the Hersey and Blanchard model?
A book gives you the model: four styles (instructing, coaching, supporting, delegating) linked to four development levels of employees. That is where it stops. On this classroom-based in-depth day you practise with your own cases and receive direct feedback from the trainer and fellow participants. You learn in practice how to recognise signals in behaviour, how to switch without creating confusion, and how to communicate expectations clearly. That practice is what makes the difference. Most managers are familiar with the model, but remain stuck in their preferred style. A day of actively experimenting with other styles, under guidance, breaks that habit faster than self-study. A condition, though, is basic knowledge of or experience in leadership; this day builds on that.
