Situational Leadership II* Two-Day Training Workshop | Dates to be announced

Learn how to transform your leadership skills to develop your employees.

Since June 2008 nearly 120 managers representing a variety of  business units have attended the two-day Situational Leadership training workshop.

What is Situational Leadership? It is a model for developing individuals so they can reach their highest level of performance on a specific goal or task. It is a process that supervisors can use to help individuals ultimately become self-motivated and self-directed. In this model, the supervisor learns skills to assess an individual’s development level.

Please note that individual departments are to assume costs of the training materials, which will be approximately $300. Participants will need permission from their supervisors to attend.

For more details, please see this summary. Participants must commit to both days.

Upcoming Training Dates: To Be Announced.  Please contact Carole DiFabio in Employee Development at ext. 28532.
