50 Shades of Situational Leadership® – t’s Making Others Successful and It’s Constant
At its core, Situational Leadership® isn’t about the leader. It’s about the people they serve. In this episode, we’re diving into two often-overlooked but essential truths:
👉🏻 Great leadership makes the other person successful
👉🏻 And it does so, constantly
🎯 Leadership = Making the Other Person Successful
Forget the spotlight. The true mark of a leader is when the people around them grow, thrive, and succeed—even when the leader steps out of the room. Situational leaders ask themselves daily:
- What does this person need to succeed today?
- Where are they stuck—and how can I help unlock that?
- Am I setting them up to own their work, or just managing their output?
Success looks different for each team member, and it’s a leader’s role to adapt, support, and challenge in the right measure.
When your team wins, you win.
🔁 It’s Not a One-Time Thing—It’s Constant
Consistency builds trust. Situational Leadership® isn’t about one-time heroic efforts—it’s about showing up every day with intention. That means:
- Checking in regularly, not just during crisis
- Adjusting your leadership as people grow or circumstances shift
- Staying committed even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable
True leadership is a practice, not a performance.
Anyone can lead once. Great leaders lead again and again
Why This Matters
Leadership that focuses on others and remains constant isn’t flashy—but it’s powerful. It creates a culture of ownership, accountability, and trust. Your team knows you’ve got their back—not just when it’s easy, but when it counts.
