Adaptability is a hallmark of highly effective leaders. More specifically, effective leaders constantly adapt to their context and their people order to maximize their impact.

Adapting to the context involves reading the dynamics of a situation accurately, clarifying your objectives in the situation, and then responding with the leadership behaviors that are most likely to realize those objectives.

Adapting to your people involves shifting your own preferred interaction style behaviors to match the communication style preferences of those with whom you are interacting. Effective leadership requires that you adapt to both the context and your people simultaneously.

In this program, Scott Campbell will show you how to use the Social Styles personality type framework as a tool to better read and respond to both your circumstances and your people.

What you can expect to learn:

• How each style’s preferred decision-making style provides a clue to reading your context.
• How to determine specific leadership objectives when facing a leadership situation.
• The key behaviors that build trust with each of the four social styles.
• How to simultaneously balance adapting to the context while adapting to your people.

Some attendee comments…

• “New approach to leadership styles with some research behind it… with reference to Type models and frameworks.. Key Message: Emphasized flexible and adaptive leading approaches for committment (willingness) vs. compliance!”
• “Where do I start? Learning to modify your leadership to the person being lead and the situation.”
