Whatever role you have in juvenile justice you are attempting to influence the behavior of other people. If you struggle with your approach producing less than the desired results, this workshop is for you. Effective leaders know that there is not one way to manage people. Research has made it clear that successful leaders adapt their leadership style to the needs of the situation. There are four basic leadership styles representing different combinations of directive and supportive leader behaviors. The key to being a situational leader is knowing when to use each style. The right style is a function of two variables: the degree of difficulty of the task and the developmental level of the person doing the task. |
