5. Leadershipstyles A leadership style encompasses how a person
provides direction, implements a plan, or motivates
others. To achieve their goals, effective leaders often
switch styles to suit the situation.
Participative: seeks to involve other people;
Situational: changes leadership style according to
situational factors;
Transactional: works through hierarchical
structures and systems of reward;
Transformational: leads through inspiration,
sharing energy and enthusiasm;
Servant: serves others rather than being served;
Democratic: builds consensus through
participation;
6. Leadershipstyles
Essentially…
… if you take two cups of participative
leadership, one cup of democratic, situational,
and transactional leadership, and a dash of
transformational and servant leadership "to
taste," and you lead based on need in a way that
elevates and inspires your team, you’ve got an
excellent recipe for long-term leadership success
with every team in your life.
