SLII® Collaborative Online Course

Become an inspired SLII® leader

Learn SLII through this 5-week, collaborative online course that teaches leaders how to give their people what they need, when they need it. That means having authentic conversations that empower. Caring about their growth. Being their champion. Seeing their promise.

SLII is an easy-to-use, easy-to-learn, powerfully simple framework that teaches managers how to diagnose the development level of an employee for a task and then use the appropriate directive and supportive behaviors to help them succeed. SLII enables leaders to build deeper relationships, accelerate development, and unlock creativity.
