Informa Connect Academy, a leading force in learning and training, is excited to announce a new partnership with The Center for Leadership Studies (CLS), the global home of the Situational Leadership Model. This collaboration aims to enhance leadership development worldwide, making the renowned leadership framework more accessible to clients globally.

The Situational Leadership methodology focuses on the relationship between leaders and their teams, offering a framework to analyze each situation based on the Performance Readiness Level of teams and individuals. This model, recognized as the most globally accepted leadership framework, was developed by Dr. Paul Hersey and Dr. Ken Blanchard. It emphasizes that effective leadership requires adapting one's style to meet the team's needs.

The partnership significantly benefits companies by boosting employee engagement and productivity, fostering a positive work environment, and empowering team members. The Situational Leadership courses provide leaders at all levels with the skills to nurture relationships through trust, mutual respect, and shared goals.

CLS offers transformative Situational Leadership training, featuring accessibility compliance, self- and 360°-assessments, reinforcement and practice, as well as videos and case studies reflecting modern workforce scenarios. By staying responsive to evolving circumstances and performance needs, CLS's courses enable companies to adapt effectively. Additionally, they contribute to long-term employee development and retention by ensuring employees feel recognized, valued, and appreciated.
