Course Overview

Do you recall the effectiveness of these leaders: Dwight Eisenhower, George Patton, Pat Summit, Colin Powell, John Wooden, and Phil Jackson? They all used situational leadership practices to achieve the highest levels of effectiveness.

Using situational leadership practices means the leader understands the (constant) need to adapt and adjust their style based on situational variables, which let’s face it, are many, and as the leadership name “situational” implies, are constantly in flux.

This training course details situational leadership and why it’s more important now than ever. The course content will provide examples of situational leadership, assessments that provide insights into our own leadership styles, details from researchers including Dr. Peter Northouse, and importantly, this training details how to use situational leadership practices to help make you as effective as possible.

If you are ready to improve your leadership, let’s start.

Course Overview

10-hour online course

Whether you are leading a police department or a for-profit organization, a specially trained group of people on the battlefield or in the boardroom, leaders are responsible for navigating the planned operational aspects of a team and a great number of unplanned issues, challenges, and crises that are more likely to arise than not—including natural disasters, failures in infrastructure, public health outbreaks, cybersecurity hacks, terrorist attacks, and a host of other risks that can quickly turn into emergencies. Are you prepared to lead effectively? Is your team ready to execute efficiently?

Being prepared for planned and unplanned work is the cornerstone of leadership effectiveness, team agility, and organizational resilience; and when it comes to crises, effective leadership is measured based on proper preparation, successful responses, and full recovery from extraordinary challenges. This course, Leading In Times Of Crisis, will help you and your team prepare, respond, and recover from an unexpected crisis.

This course blends theoretical models of leadership with real-world insights to explain how to effectively plan and implement crisis management strategies, processes, and practices that lead to exceptional outcomes for the leader, team, organization, and community of stakeholders. Topics covered include: the crisis management process; gathering and using facts and opinions; decision making; and tools that have been created from prior crises. Some of this work will illustrate “hard skills” of management, but most of the work will focus on the critical need of the “soft skills” of leadership.
