Podcasts about situational leadership

What's it like to manage—or be—the loudest voice in the room?In this episode, Christine sits down with Greg Shamie to explore the expressive social style: the high-energy, idea-sparking, people-centered leaders who light up meetings, connect quickly, and often get mislabeled as “too much.”Together, they unpack the strengths and growing edges of expressives, how they show up in teams, and why structure and preparation are just as important as spontaneity.Whether you're an expressive leader yourself or managing one on your team, this episode will help you understand what drives them, what drains them, and how to bring out their best—without dimming their light.

Welcome to Take the Leap Management — the podcast where modern leadership meets real-world challenges. In every episode, we dive into the tools, theories, and strategies that help managers lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Today, we're exploring a leadership approach that's all about adaptability: Situational Leadership Theory. What if leadership wasn't about having one perfect style, but about knowing when to direct, when to support, and when to step back? Let's unpack how this flexible framework can transform the way you lead your team—and elevate your impact.

In this episode of Stepping Into Your Leadership, host Christine Courtney and producer Tatiana Dominguez take a deep dive into Situational Leadership—one of the most powerful leadership models for managers and rising leaders.Leadership isn't one-size-fits-all. The Situational Leadership Model helps leaders adapt their style based on their team's competence and commitment levels. But how do you actually put it into practice?

Jeffrey Utsch is a Constitutional Scholar who teaches Situational Leadership to many of the nation's top CEO's. For 30 years, he has trained Navy Seals in open water techniques and survival. Also, he was one of Chris and Sean's first guests on the show almost four years ago. Jeff returns to defend the ideas of American Exceptionalism as enshrined in the Founding Documents of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He laments that so many Americans know so little of those documents that they'll buy into whatever misinformation is fed to them - like pursuing Marxist ideology in the guise of DEI. Thankfully, these ideas are waning as Americans look to return to the founding principles of #Faith, #Freedom, and #FreeEnterprise. A #mustlisten for anyone who believes America is an exceptional nation founded on the principle that rights come from God and not from Government.

This week I was so lucky to sit down with Scott Williams, Trinity alumnus '89, for the Living Leadership Interview segment. Scott and I met when I was 19 and was one of my early mentors at Trinity. Since that time, we've maintained a close relationship, which was heightened during his time serving on the Trinity University Alumni Association Board.  Scott and I discuss the Situational Leadership model and his leadership philosophy and principles. He details important in and out-of-class mentors he had at Trinity and the value of meeting others where they are and seeing them for who they are. Scott describes why leaders must connect with individuals and why it would actually be unfair to treat everyone the same. He says that if you treat everyone with respect and build a foundation of trust, you can meet people where they are and bring out the best in them. This conversation about focusing equity, rather than equality, is important for us all to hear. Four years ago, Scott and I appeared on the Trinity University Podcast Network for a discussion on race, education, mentors, and modern-day athlete activism. I encourage you to give that conversation a listen as it is really different from this episode, but can provide you important context for what makes Scott tick. Reflections on Life, Trinity, and the American Dream (https://soundcloud.com/user-936731397/reflections-on-life-trinity-and-the-american-dream)  The episode concludes with my lecture on chapter 5 of the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I provide an overview of Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership Model, discuss details about the connection between a leader's style and the follower's developmental level, and why it's essential that leaders engage in conversations with their team members. Let me know your reactions to my chat with Scott. Reach out to both of us on Twitter (@TingleJK and @scottwilli75or LinkedIn and let's keep the conversation going    

This Podcast Is Episode 599, And It's About Mastering Leadership In Construction: From Passive To Assertive Effective leadership is crucial for project success in the dynamically challenging construction environment. A Project Manager (PM) oversees operations, guides teams through day-to-day tasks, ensures effective communication, and maintains stakeholder alignment. As many of you, our readers and clients, are both wearing two hats - PM and Owner; it's essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of taking on both roles.   As a Project Manager and a Business Owner, you deeply understand the entire process, from planning to execution. This holistic view allows for better decision-making. You have the authority to implement your vision and strategies, ensuring that quality and efficiency align with your goals.   You can build long-term relationships with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers, enhancing trust and collaboration. As the owner, you can choose the projects you want to take and the direction of your business, allowing for personal and professional growth.   However, balancing the responsibilities of both roles can lead to very long hours and difficulty maintaining a work-life balance. As both a PM and business owner, the weight of decisions falls on your shoulders, which can be stressful. Ownership also involves financial investment and risks, mainly if projects do not go as planned—this could include juggling resources, including labor, materials, and budgets, which can be challenging and may lead to conflicts. You may often face unexpected challenges that require immediate attention, leading to a high-pressure environment.    As a business owner, you might find it hard to delegate tasks, feeling the need to oversee everything, which can lead to burnout. The key to balancing these roles is knowing your strengths and limitations.   First, it is important to recognize that various leadership styles can empower PMs and Owners to adapt their approach for optimal results. Here are several essential styles of leadership to consider in Construction Project Management.   1. Autocratic Leadership   Autocratic leaders make decisions independently, with little input from team members. This can benefit construction projects when quick decisions are required, such as during critical program changes or when addressing safety issues. However, while it can expedite decision-making, this style may suppress team creativity and engagement.   2. Transformational Leadership   Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their teams by promoting a shared vision. In construction, where project goals often evolve, this style can be particularly effective in driving change. By empowering team members and fostering innovation, transformational leaders can cultivate a proactive environment that aligns with the project's objectives.   3. Servant Leadership   This style focuses on team members' growth and well-being. Servant leaders prioritize collaboration and support to meet their team's needs. In construction, this approach enhances morale and encourages open communication, vital for troubleshooting issues and delivering projects on time.   4. Democratic Leadership   Democratic leaders solicit input and collaborate with their teams on decision-making. This leadership style can enhance team cohesion and ensure all voices are heard. Engaging team members in planning and problem-solving in construction projects can lead to more innovative solutions and a stronger sense of ownership among the workforce.   5. Transactional Leadership   Transactional leaders focus on clear structures and defined tasks, rewarding compliance and performance. This can be vital for maintaining schedules, budgets, and compliance with safety regulations in a construction setting. While this style ensures accountability, it may not foster creativity or long-term commitment among team members.   6. Laissez-Faire Leadership   Laissez-faire leaders offer minimal direction and allow team members to make decisions. This approach can be effective in construction when managing highly skilled professionals who thrive in autonomous environments. However, clear guidelines may lead to a lack of coordination and inefficiency.   7. Situational Leadership   Situational leadership requires adaptability, allowing the PM to adjust their style based on the project and team's needs. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in construction, where unforeseen challenges often arise. By assessing situational variables—such as team dynamics or project complexity—a PM can choose the most effective leadership style at any given time.   Leadership styles significantly impact team dynamics, productivity, and overall business success. While you may think adapting to the situation is the best option, you need to consider this: Yes, a passive leadership style may seem non-confrontational and agreeable, but it often leads to unresolved issues, a lack of direction, and decreased morale. Transforming from a passive to an assertive leadership style can be a game-changer for your business.    Understanding Passive vs. Assertive Leadership   Passive leaders usually:   Avoid conflict at all costs Hesitate to express opinions or make decisions Allow others to dictate terms Fail to set clear expectations and boundaries   Assertive leaders usually:   Communicate openly and honestly Make decisions confidently Set and enforce clear expectations Respect both your rights and those of others   The Challenges of Passive Leadership   Passive leaders often struggle to articulate their needs and expectations, leading to team confusion, frustration, and inefficiency. For instance, a passive leader might avoid addressing a team member's repeated tardiness, resulting in resentment among other employees who adhere to punctuality.   The Benefits of Becoming Assertive   Transforming into an assertive leader brings numerous advantages: Improved Communication: Clear, direct communication reduces misunderstandings and fosters transparency. Enhanced Team Morale: Employees value fair and consistent leaders, leading to higher job satisfaction. Better Decision-Making: Assertive leaders make timely and informed decisions, driving the business forward. Increased Respect: Teams respect leaders who stand by their principles and address issues promptly. Practical Tips for Making the Shift   1. Start Small: Begin by asserting yourself in low-stakes situations. Practice expressing your opinions in meetings or setting minor boundaries.   2. Use "I" Statements: Frame your thoughts using "I" statements to take ownership of your feelings. For example, say, "I feel concerned when deadlines are missed," instead of "You always miss deadlines."   3. Try Active Listening: Listen attentively to show that you value others' input. This fosters mutual respect and opens the door for more assertive interactions.   4. Set Clear Expectations: Clearly define your team's roles, responsibilities, and expectations. This will help prevent ambiguity and ensure everyone knows what is required.   5. Seek Feedback: Ask trusted colleagues or mentors about your leadership style. Use this input to adjust and improve your assertiveness.   6. Stay Calm and Composed: Try to maintain a calm attitude, even in challenging situations. This helps keep discussions constructive and focused on solutions.   7. Learn to Say No: Say no when necessary. Respectfully declining requests that don't align with your goals ensures your resources are used effectively.   Final thoughts   Choosing the right leadership style as a Project Manager or a Business Owner (or both) in construction is crucial to navigating the complexities of each project. Influential leaders recognize the value of blending different styles and adapting their approach to changing circumstances. By leveraging these various leadership styles, PMs can foster a productive work environment, drive team performance, and ultimately enhance project success. The ability to inspire, engage, and direct team efforts will not only lead to the completion of projects on time and within budget but can also pave the way for sustained growth and improvement within the organization.   Transitioning from a passive to an assertive leadership style is a transformative journey that requires practice and commitment. The benefits—improved communication, better decision-making, increased respect, and enhanced team morale—are worth the effort. By embracing assertiveness, you can lead your team more effectively and drive your business toward tremendous success.   Do you need further guidance on developing your assertiveness?

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Letitia Boardman talks with Jason Barnard about the power of delegating in building trust & confidence. Letitia Boardman is Director, Strategic Account Specialist at Microsoft and a Certified Coach. Letitia has over 25 years' experience in digital advertising and 17 years' experience of team leadership in learning and development, account management and marketing. This demonstrates her extensive skills as a motivational, versatile leader in various functions within a Fortune 500 company. Letitia's passion is people. She draws her energy from cultivating mutually beneficial partnerships with clients and internal stakeholders, developing and coaching others, and building and developing highly effective, multi-functional teams. She thrives on exceeding business goals and has a proven track record of increasing profitability.  A common problem in organizations is the reluctance of team leaders or managers to delegate tasks because they want to maintain control and fear that others will not meet their standards. This reluctance can inhibit team growth and innovation as it prevents employees from taking responsibility for tasks and developing their skills. To overcome this challenge, leaders need to build confidence in their team's abilities and foster a collaborative and empowering work environment. In this delightful episode, Letitia Boardman explains how delegation provides opportunities for growth and the importance of feedback and guidance. Letitia shares insights on identifying individual strengths to delegate better, as well as how to handle problems and build trust when team members are new to the task. Together with Jason Barnard, they dive deep into the tremendous value of trust and confidence.

Head to https://fellow.app/coo/ to get started and start having better meetings. (00:12) Advice for CEOs and COOs This chapter welcomes Cameron Harold, the founder of COO Alliance and author of "The Second In Command," as we celebrate the release of his new book and examine its content, which serves as a guide for both CEOs and COOs. We explore Cameron's transition from COO to CEO, the mindset shifts that accompanied this change, and his insights into the balance between work and life. Cameron shares his experiences and lessons learned from running a business at a young age, including the importance of delegating, saying no, and focusing on the most critical tasks. The discussion also touches on how the book has already impacted the COO Alliance and the value it provides in understanding the CEO-COO dynamic. (12:37) Promoting From Within vs. Hiring Externally This chapter we explore the importance of creating a culture of continuous improvement within companies, akin to the mindset of elite athletes or performers. I share an anecdote about Patrick Roy to illustrate the resilience and determination that we aim to instill in our teams. We discuss strategies for fostering a safe environment where feedback is welcomed and viewed as a tool for growth, emphasizing that it's the systems, not individuals, that often need adjustment. We also touch on the sentimental value of sports heroes, as I recount a personal encounter with my childhood idol, Ken Dryden. Finally, I address the considerations involved in deciding whether to promote from within or hire externally for leadership roles, factoring in the individual's ability to complement the CEO's skills, their leadership qualities, and the strategic implications of such decisions, especially in companies with specialized knowledge or intellectual property. (17:24) Flexibility in Organizational Structure With AI This chapter examines the importance of flexibility in business operations and leadership. We explore the concept of a "bobbin' weave culture" where being too rigid can be detrimental, and the benefits of flowing like water, taking the path of least resistance towards the company's vivid vision. I discuss the necessity for leaders to align with core values and purposes, akin to a bobsled track, to guide the organization's journey. Additionally, we look at the challenges of introducing flexibility into rigid structures, using the example of Gerber Auto Collision's approach to acquisitions and the philosophy of "selling, not telling" to integrate new teams. The chapter also highlights the power of positive reinforcement and personal praise in leadership, drawing lessons from Howard Behar's practice of handwritten thank you notes at Starbucks, emphasizing the value of gratitude and recognition in driving employee success and satisfaction. (24:55) Exploring AI Tools and Admired COOs This chapter, we explore the significance of AI in the modern workplace, highlighting how our employees and CO Alliance members are encouraged to experiment with AI tools for one to two hours each week. We discuss the vast array of available AI applications, far beyond the widely mentioned ChatGPT, and the benefits of sharing experiences with these tools among teams to build momentum and enhance productivity. Examples include the transformative effects of AI on podcast production, such as using Descript to edit speech or Podium Stage for content creation. Additionally, we touch upon the importance of adaptability, illustrated by historical shifts in technology within NASA, and wrap up with admiration for influential COOs like Cheryl Sandberg and Matt Rawlings, noting how they exemplify effective leadership and innovation. (30:39) Leadership Lessons and Insights This chapter explores the contrasting leadership styles and trajectories of two COOs of 1-800-Got-Junk, with a focus on the impact of Eric Church's internal-facing, process- and people-centered approach as he grew the company from $70 million to $450 million, in stark contrast to my own media-facing, brand-building style during a different company growth phase. We also discuss the critical lesson of listening to team members, exemplified by a near-bankruptcy experience, and share a personal strategy for becoming a better listener by physically sitting on one's hands to encourage attentiveness. Finally, we examine the importance of asking systemic rather than symptomatic questions within leadership, illustrated by an anecdote involving Starbucks and the significance of maintaining operational systems for company-wide consistency. (37:02) Catch Up and Discuss Book Promotion This chapter celebrates the successful collaboration between CEOs and COOs as we unpack the critical dynamics of their partnership. I extend my gratitude to Cameron for sharing his insights and congratulate him on his new book, "Second in Command," a must-read for current and aspiring COOs, as well as CEOs seeking to hire their right-hand executive. We reflect on the nuances of the CEO-COO relationship and the importance of understanding each other's roles to foster a productive working environment. The discussion emphasizes the book's relevance for those looking to enhance their leadership teams and the overall health of their organizations. Thank you, Cameron, for joining me and enriching our listeners with your expertise. Links:Second In Command book - https://www.amazon.com/Second-Command-Unleash-Power-Your/dp/1544537603COO Alliance - https://cooalliance.com/Cameron Herold on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronherold/Unique Ability by Dan Sullivan - https://uniqueability.com/Situational Leadership - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_leadership_theoryFellow.app - https://fellow.app/coo/Episode on Between Two COO's - https://betweentwocoos.com/41Michael Koenig on LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/michael-koenig514/

Situational Leadership: The One Minute Manager introduces the concept of Situational Leadership, which suggests that effective leadership involves adapting your leadership style to the specific needs of each individual or situation. The book describes four leadership styles: directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating.

From Servant to transformational to transactional to leadership by objectives, there is a seemingly endless array of leadership styles, each with a cadre of champions making their case for why their particular style is the most preferred.  Well, today we discuss Ken Blanchard's Situational Leadership II Model, which makes the argument that instead of attempting to find the one best style for all situations, leaders must be able to adapt to multiple styles for multiple situations.Sources:EPM Video (YouTube) LeadX Article (Graphic Representation of Model and the differences between SLi and SLii)Overview of Model (With Graphic Representation of Model)For additional management resources and information, please visit us at:  https://managementworksmedia.com You can email us at:  managementworks@managementworksmedia.com If you would like to help keep our show running through a donation of your choosing, please visit our Patreon page. Support the show

Are there some people in your life that you find always misunderstand you and what your intentions are? We all have people in our lives that are so easy to get along with and those that always seem to question our ideas or our approach to an initiative.
