Beyond Pleasing Everyone: Unpacking your leadership style
This week, we explore leadership styles. I expect like me you never spent much time thinking about it. Until you wanted to adapt or change how you showed up and the impact you were having.
There are thousands of leadership style models out there. Most are very smart and academic routed in research. Whilst this is interesting, it’s seldom a useful starting point for YOU.
So this week, I unpack one of the well-known and respected leadership style models. You will be clearer on your default leadership style as well as what potential growth area there is for you to develop range.
I created a quiz that will tell you in 8-questions what your leadership style is. 2-minutes is all that’s required to get insight into your strengths, how you derail yourself, and next steps.
And here's how the styles from the model discussed in the episode map to the quiz results:
Visionary -> Pioneer
Democratic -> Co-creator
Affiliative -> Unifier
Coaching - > Coach
