Situational Leadership® gives us a road map for how to behave, provide perspective and approach a new way of thinking, as well as how we react to one another.

Situational Leadership®: Building Leaders has given people leaders a new paradigm to view development and support. It’s given them an accessible and applicable way of knowing when and how to use different approaches to leadership based on the situation and Performance Readiness® of their team for different tasks.

Situational Leadership®: Taking Charge has allowed individual contributors to leave behind the stigma of “not knowing” or “not performing” and instead empowered them with language to ask for what they need to develop their ability and willingness for new and evolving tasks.
- Manager of Organizational Development, Healthcare Industry
One of the biggest barriers to development in a business setting is the chronic inability to talk about performance.

Situational Leadership® has given our entire organization a common language to talk about development – which means, our entire organization is actually doing the work of developing!

I love the book, 'The Four Moments of Truth!' It is essential for our managers in every organization to understand that it’s not just up to the participants, but up to them to determine the success or failure of learning and career development amongst our employees.
