Train and educate other leaders

Become a certified trainer in Situational Leadership

The Situational Leadership trainer certification enables you to work professionally with one of the world’s most recognised leadership tools. The certification equips you with the skills to train and educate other leaders in adapting their leadership style to different employees and situations. Situational Leadership was developed by Dr Paul Hersey and is based on the principle that effective leadership requires a flexible approach. A leader must be able to adapt the level of control and support depending on the employee’s competencies and motivation in a given task.

As a certified trainer, you will learn both how to apply the model in practice and how to communicate it to others. You will be equipped with the tools to teach, facilitate learning and help leaders develop their leadership
skills. Listen to Dr Paul Hersey talk about the Situational Leadership theory. →

The 4 leadership styles in Situational Leadership

Adapt your management style to the employee’s level of development

Directive (S1) – high control and low support. The manager gives clear instructions and provides close supervision.

Coaching style (S2) – high direction and high support. The manager explains, motivates and involves the employee in the task.

Supportive (S3) – low control and high support. The manager supports the employee in decision-making and task completion.

Delegating (S4) – low supervision and low support. The employee works independently on the task, whilst the manager monitors progress from a distance.

When managers master these four leadership styles, they become better at developing employees, strengthening collaboration and driving higher performance within their teams and organisation.
