Course Overview
Most organizations are experiencing leadership turnover—which is especially challenging for technical organizations where the role and expectations of engineers differ considerably from managers. In addition, many organizations have delayed developing their managerial pipeline and now face a need to rapidly develop new technical managers. Coaching and mentoring play significant roles in developing new talent, but the skills to be effective in this area are not always obvious.
The course is based on The SLII ExperienceTM created by Dr. Ken Blanchard and other leaders at The Ken Blanchard Companies. Using the SLII® highly interactive approach, you will learn and practice the three skills of a situational leader: goal-setting (aligning on what needs to be done), diagnosis (collaboratively assessing an individual’s competence and commitment on a specific task or goal) and matching (using a variety of leadership approaches, comfortably, to provide individuals with what they need to complete tasks or achieve goals).
Taught by an experienced training professional from one of the world’s leading technology companies, this course will give you tools to communicate openly and a clear strategy to develop leaders.
Who Should Attend?
- Managers, directors, and team leaders responsible for employee development
- Technical leaders responsible for the development of employees and teams
- Prospective technical leaders seeking a systematic approach to coaching others
- Training professionals supporting coaching and mentoring programs
- Organizational leaders seeking to build bench strength and fill holes in succession planning
