Skill-Will Leadership

Lead with flexibility, develop effectively

Executive training for tailored leadership – based on ability, motivation, and personality.

  • Effective leadership is situational. Employees differ in their skills, motivation, and personality — and therefore require different approaches to leadership. This training shows managers how to tailor their leadership style to specific situations rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • The focus is on the Skill-Will Model: You learn to assess whether employees are capable of and willing to perform a task — and use that assessment to determine the appropriate leadership approach: delegating, training, motivating, or giving clear instructions.
  • It’s not just about tasks, it’s about people. You’ll learn how to lead different types of people, recognize their motivations, and address them in a targeted way — even when your employees think and act differently than you do.
  • Through practical exercises, you will gain confidence in handling a wide variety of leadership situations and will be able to apply leadership skills effectively in your day-to-day work.

Skill/Will Leadership is a training program for new and experienced leaders across all departments who want to develop employees individually and lead them according to the situation.

This training is part of the Leadership Track „Leading People“.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY ON GOOGLE

Wer glaubt, Präsentieren heißt nur Folien zeigen, sollte ein Training bei HPS besuchen. Hier lernt man, wie man Inhalte so strukturiert, dass sie verständlich, überzeugend und vor allem in Erinnerung bleiben. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie konsequent Theorie in Praxis umgesetzt wird. Man präsentiert, bekommt ehrliches, professionelles Feedback und entwickelt sich von Übung zu Übung spürbar weiter. Die Trainer erkennen rasch, worauf es bei jedem Einzelnen ankommt, und geben konkrete Werkzeuge mit, die man sofort im Berufsalltag einsetzen kann. Ein Training mit Tiefgang, hoher Professionalität und echtem Mehrwert. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Menschen nicht nur informieren, sondern wirklich erreichen und überzeugen wollen.
