Strategic Leadership Type Indicator - Facilitator's Manual Kit

The Strategic Leadership Workshop (SLTiW) is fast becoming the new standard for a 4-quadrant type assessment and training workshop for supervisors. Trainers appreciate its simplicity combined with comprehensive support materials but without burdensome certification requirements. Supervisors and managers like the emphasis on learning the appropriate use of four different management styles, particularly the coaching style widely considered the most flexible and motivative supervision technique in wide use today.

The Strategic Leadership Type Indicator (SLTi) is a self scoring paper/pencil or online assessment that can be completed in about 15 minutes as an the entry learning exercise for the workshop. SLTi assessments are purchased separately by workshop license holders at a 15% lifetime discount.

The SLTi assessment determines the degree to which you use coaching, teaching, relating or delegating styles correctly according to the c,apability and motivation of your direct reports. The SLTi combines proven, contemporary leadership strategies with the breakthrough concept initially commercialized by Situational Leadership™ that “one leadership strategy does not fit all situations”. Each supervisor has to understand the needs and capabilities of each direct report to manage that person optimally.

Strategic Leadership training is a complete development cycle for supervisors or managers:

1. Leaders complete the self-assessment and discover their preferred leadership strategies for a variety of contexts.
2. Leaders learn to select the best strategies for a given context.
3. Leaders are shown how to use strategies to develop their direct reports, to move them toward higher autonomy, competence, and improved productivity.

After training supervisors can apply a simple technology to more effectively work with a subordinate with evolving job responsibilities, deal with a sudden change in a direct report’s performance, or proactively deal with virtually any personnel challenge.
