Supervisor Readiness

This three-hour course covers Situational Leadership and Supervisor Readiness (4Rs). The course will review the three necessary components and strategies to impact performance. The Situational Leadership Theory developed by Paul Hersey and Kenneth Blanchard presents a model that suggests that to be effective leaders, supervisors must match their leadership style to an individual worker's level of job readiness (job maturity). The manager's effectiveness depends on their ability to correctly identify the supervisor's readiness level and to employ the appropriate leader style in that particular situation. Supervisor readiness for any task is determined by the supervisor's ability and willingness.
