Claria Partners Now Offering Situational Leadership® (SLII®)
Helping leaders adapt, engage, and accelerate performance with the world’s most taught leadership model.
Why Leadership Needs to Change
In today’s fast-moving workplaces, one-size-fits-all leadership doesn’t work. The challenges leaders face in life sciences and technology startups are complex:
Teams are scaling quickly.
Roles and responsibilities shift frequently.
Employees bring diverse experiences, expectations, and skill levels.
The truth is, no single leadership style can meet every challenge. What works for one team member in one moment may not work for another the next day.
That’s why adaptability is no longer optional for leaders — it’s essential.
Introducing Situational Leadership® II (SLII®)
Claria Partners is proud to announce that we are now offering Situational Leadership® II (SLII®), developed by The Ken Blanchard Companies. SLII® is the most widely taught leadership model in the world, equipping managers to flex their leadership style to the needs of their people.
At its core, SLII® helps leaders answer a fundamental question: What do my people need from me right now in order to succeed?
By matching the right level of direction and support to each employee’s development level, leaders can drive better performance, stronger engagement, and faster growth.
The Four Leadership Styles in SLII®
SLII® trains managers to recognize and use four leadership styles:
Directing – High direction, low support (for those just starting out)
Coaching – High direction, high support (when motivation or skill-building is needed)
Supporting – Low direction, high support (for capable but cautious employees)
Delegating – Low direction, low support (for confident, self-reliant performers)
The magic of SLII® lies in knowing when — and with whom — to use each style.
Why SLII® Matters for Growing Companies
For emerging biotech and technology companies, where innovation and speed are critical, leadership adaptability is a game-changer. SLII® helps organizations:
Accelerate learning & development by meeting employees where they are.
Boost engagement & retention by ensuring employees feel supported and challenged.
Build agile leadership teams ready to guide companies through change and growth.
Improve performance reviews & coaching by giving managers a practical framework.
In other words: SLII® gives managers the tools they need to develop people faster and lead with confidence.
