Adapting Your Leadership Style to Your Team

About this course

The best leaders do not treat everyone the same. They give each person the right amount of direction and support for the task in hand. This two-day course shows you how to read a team member's competence and commitment and adapt your approach to match.

Through practical exercises and realistic conversations, you will learn to agree goals openly, avoid over-managing or leaving people alone too soon and help each person grow towards independence. You leave with an action plan for your own team and an Alalamia certificate.

• Assess each team member's readiness in terms of competence and commitment for a given task
• Distinguish between directive and supportive leadership behaviours
• Choose the right balance of direction and support for each person and task
