What does Style have to do with Leadership? For more than three decades, SLII® — America’s top leadership model — has been teaching leaders how to find their style.

Finding the right style has a lot to do with diagnosing the situation... and learning how to match their leadership style to the developmental levels and needs of the people they lead.

But knowing the right style doesn’t mean that people know how to express the right style. It takes practice. It takes coaching. It takes experience. In fact, Style has everything to do with Leadership.

That’s one of the reasons why SLII is America’s Top Leadership Model.

SLII® is the fabric of Blanchard, from which

we make so many applications.



Couture is high design. A big part of Blanchard’s leadership services is very high design too. Many complex organizations need their leadership development programs to be interwoven into their culture. They have very specific needs. For them, Blanchard tailors the solution, based on their business strategy, their cultural profile, their values, and their aspirations.


Sometimes we create a couture or custom design, blending many of the programs in our suite just for them. Sometimes, we collaborate with third parties or in-house staff to co-create a solution. For these types of clients, our work is very design-intensive.
