Align the incentives of different functions so situational leadership and motivation is not quietly sabotaged.
Situational Leadership and the Art of Directing and Motivating Staff
A senior-level treatment of situational leadership and motivation, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Teams read what their leaders tolerate on situational leadership and motivation far more accurately than what their leaders announce. When leadership and motivation is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Improvement in this area of organisational leadership stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to situational leadership and motivation in an order their organisation can absorb. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of organisational leadership outperform teams that only plan it. The content is relevant to those who own leadership and motivation and to those who are held accountable for its results. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make situational leadership and motivation hard in practice. The course sets out a working method for leadership and motivation that participants can apply the week they return. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within organisational leadership broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
