Situational Leadership II (SLII) is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical method of effectively managing and developing people, time, and resources in the world. SLII provides leaders with a model and the tools for creating open communication and developing self-reliance in those they manage. It is designed to increase the frequency and quality of conversations about performance and development. As a result, competence is developed, commitment is gained, and talented individuals are retained. SLII is recognized as both a business language and a framework for employee development because it works across cultural, linguistic, and geographical barriers. The foundation lies in teaching leaders to diagnose the needs of an individual or a team and then use the appropriate leadership style to respond to the needs of the person and the situation.
For this discussion, review the figure 5.2 in the Dugan text. There are four specific leader styles aligned on the chart. They are directing, coaching, supporting and delegating. These are leader styles. There are also the follower’s developmental levels described as D1 – D4. There is a direct relationship between the followers level of competence and the leader’s style. For each developmental level there is an appropriate style of leadership that should be adopted (i.e. a style that depends on the situation).
Select one of the four leadership styles. Choose a specific follower development level (D1 – D4) and give an example of how this leadership style and developmental level would work in real life. In other words, create a “situation” that needs to be led and explain this concept in your discussion.
These are my choices:
Coaching (S2): Both highly directive and supportive; clear structure and direction along with a strong investment in the individual begins to engage the follower as an active contributor to the process as well as in decision making.
The Self Reliant Achiever (D4): Possesses the requisite knowledge and skills along with self confidence and enthusiasm for the task
WEEK 4
Describe in-group and out-group members. What does this concept relate to? Do employees choose which group they want to be part of? Can they move back and forth between the two groups?
WEEK 5: Two part separately
please review this two minute video about Servant Leadership https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKk0AaaFqtU&feature=youtu.be
1 – What are servant leadership behaviors and what do they mean to followers? Drawing on your own leadership experiences, what needs to be considered when applying servant leadership to practice?
This portion of the discussion assignment will be a competition. Next week you will “vote” on the best submission, but for this week, you will select your model “leader”. You are not required to respond to any students in this section. You only need to write your essay about your leader, why you selected them to win the competition, and what traits they possess. Your submission can be any single person (a teacher, a coach, a relative, a mentor, a superior, or some other famous person you admire). Jackie Robinson
Make sure you finalize your “essay” with a clear explanation as to why your person deserves to win the election as “leader of the week”.
WEEK 6
After reading the text regarding Adaptive Leadership, describe this leadership style in your own words and give your interpretation of the Table 9.4.
