Module 1: Influencing the Performance of Others

The course begins by defining what leadership is: "Leadership is an attempt to influence, and effective leadership is adapting your behaviour to the performance needs of the individual or group." The three main components of leadership: diagnosing, adapting and communicating are determined. Being able to identify the task, in each situation, is the first step toward becoming an effective leader.

Module 2: Assessing Criteria for Performance

With the task clearly identified, or diagnosed, determining the needs of the individual or group becomes the next step. A person's readiness level is their ability and willingness for the given task. Without knowing this, effectively adapting leadership style becomes impossible.

Module 3: Leader Behaviour

This module focuses on two components of leadership style: task and relationship behaviour. Use of the LEAD Self instrument assists participants in understanding their primary leadership style and the range of behaviours they tend to act upon. The Situational Leadership® Model is used to plot out these styles and behaviours in a graphic.
