SEF-BUS8602 - Leader of Others

Course Description

Leader of Others is a leadership experience for supervisors/managers that blends virtual meetings with self-paced online focused learning in a 6-week course. Leaders explore four leadership styles in the SLII® approach including specific ways to recognize development levels of employees and match the appropriate leadership style to their employees’ development levels. These foundational skills will help leaders increase the quality of conversations with their team members, accelerate their potential development, increase their performance, and support their autonomy. The ability of an SLII® leader to adapt by providing the right type of feedback builds team members’ competence, confidence, and motivation toward reaching their goal.
