Become a Situational Leader

Support Professionals can be influential or not. You can contribute to a highly productive working environment or produce non-productive behavior in workers and followers. For a leader to be influential, the leader must understand their role as well as the needs of those who follow. This is what we call a Situational Leader. Come join me and let’s explore how to apply this model in your environment.
