SLII®. Powering Inspired Leaders™
Discover the new SLII®—empowering leaders with tech-enhanced learning
Blanchard's refreshed SLII® is designed for today’s leaders, with four innovative learning designs that bring the essentials of leadership to life in a dynamic, technology-enhanced format. Now streamlined and easier to apply, SLII equips leaders to build critical skills faster and drive impact in real time. Offered in both in-person and virtual formats, the refreshed SLII meets the demand for flexible, high-impact learning experiences that keep pace with the evolving workplace.
Proven, time-tested leadership model
SLII is an easy-to-understand, practical framework that enables your managers to diagnose the development level of an employee for a task: D1 – Enthusiastic Beginner; D2 – Disillusioned Learner; D3 – Capable, but Cautious Contributor; and D4 – Self-Reliant Achiever. Managers then use the appropriate directive and supportive behaviors to help them succeed: S1 – Directing; S2 – Coaching; S3 – Supporting; and S4 – Delegating.
Our award-winning learning design, The SLII Experience™, incorporates Blanchard’s latest research and state-of-the-art design theory. This creates a learning experience that allows for quick mastery of the methodology and enables managers to help their direct reports soar to new professional heights.
Bringing impactful leadership development to leaders at all levels
We have the leadership development programs your leaders need, in the modalities that work best for your organization and its goals.
Accelerate Development
SLII helps managers accelerate the development of their direct reports, from enthusiastic beginners to self-reliant achievers.
Speak a Common Language
When managers and team members speak the same language, misunderstandings, micromanaging, and frustration fade away.
Improve Retention
Leaders who match their style to the needs of their people improve morale, commitment, and engagement. Who would leave a job like that?
Unlock Creativity
Research shows that employees who feel supported by their manager are far more engaged—and that is the foundation of innovation.
