The Power of PRISM Leadership Styles

This course is designed to help you better adapt to your work environment and to the people you lead.  The ability to adapt your leadership style is a vital skill you should master as an aspiring leader.

Understanding your leadership style can help you improve your leadership skills and to be more effective in different situations.

The Benefits of Understanding Your Leadership Style Are:

Being able to recognise your natural approach to leadership.

Being able to lead with authenticity and adapt to your team's needs.

Being able to assess the needs of others and forge productive relationships.

Being able to use the appropriate leadership style to motivate people.

What is the PRISM Leadership Styles Model?

The PRISM Leadership Styles model is a framework that can used to assess, adjust and adapt your leadership style to match your followers' ability.  The model considers a follower's readiness level, which is their capability and willingness to perform a specific task. The model considers the amount of direction and support that will be required from you, the leader.  Depending on your follower's readiness, your leadership style will vary from one person to another. 

Why are PRISM Leadership Styles Important?

Today's fast changing business environment requires leaders to take a nimble and agile approach to the task, team and individual.

Whilst it may be easier to use a one-size fits all approach to leadership, it's not a effective as adapting your leadership style to fit the situation. A great leader identifies and responds quickly to changing circumstances to keep their followers focused on the task at hand and constantly moving forward.
