assessment to determine your own
leadership style let us get started
firstly let me make it clear leadership
is not a one-size fitall role even
though having the ability and taking
action are the core requirements to be a
leader we will identify key styles that
can guide you into discovering your own
leadership
style let us examine the impact of
different leadership styles understand
how they shape dynamics of an
organization and learn how to identify
and refine your own leadership style to
become a more effective and versatile
leader leadership at its core is as
diverse as the people who practice it
picture an authorative leader decisive
clear in Direction often seen in
hierarchical
organizations they are the epitomes of
confidence and assertiveness making
decisions
independently and driven by their vision
and
expertise this style is particularly
effective in situations requiring quick
decision making or during crisises where
clear direct guidance is
essential on the opposite side of the
spectrum there are the participative
leaders who give everyone access to
decision
making these leaders value team input
engage in open communication and Foster
a collaborative
environment they believe in the power of
collective wisdom and they're good at
building strong cohesive
teams this style is perfect for
environments where Innovation and
Creative Solutions are
needed now let's look at the
transformational leaders who are
Visionary and change agents they Inspire
their teams through compelling Vision
create an environment of trust encourage
Innovation and they're committed to the
growth and development of their people
transformational leadership can Inspire
important changes and increase Employee
Engagement and
performance then we have the
transactional leader who focuses on
routines procedures and rewards for
performance they operate on the premise
of exchanges rewarding or penalizing
team members based on performance
outcomes this style is effective in
structured EnV environments where rules
procedures and standards are crucial L
aair leadership represent a hands-off
approach leaders who adopt this style
provide minimal Direction and allow team
members to make their
decisions while this can foster an
environment of Independence and personal
growth it can also lead to a lack of
Direction and unclear
expectations servant leadership is
another style where the leader
prioritizes the needs of the team and
the organization over their own these
leaders focus on empowering and
uplifting their team fostering a culture
of care respect and communal
responsibility this style of leadership
is prevalent in scrum teams that use the
agile framework where the scrum Master
displays a servant leadership
style now that you have have learned
about the different leadership styles
remember that leadership is dynamic and
you might have to adapt your style based
on the situation people and
environment each of these Styles has its
own in unique strengths and applications
and understanding them allows you to
adopt more nuanced and effective
approach to
leadership before we move on I would
like to quickly address a common
misconception situational leadership is
a leadership style well it is not a
leadership style but rather a leadership
framework for delegating
effectively the situational leadership
theory was developed in 1969 by Kim
blanar and Paul
hery situational leadership means
adapting your leadership style to each
unique situation or task to meet the
needs of the team or team
members this leadership framework
distinguishes how to handle team members
by showing different styles of
leadership based on whether they are
willing or unwilling in doing tasks and
if they are capable or not capable to do
them we'll come back to this concept in
more detail in the fourth module on
leading people in your exploration of
leadership and becoming a growth leader
that others want to follow you might
come across other leadership styles too
some lounged as a trend others with more
academic substance for example authentic
leadership which asks a leader to be
authentic at all
times I believe that any professional
should be authentic at all times and it
should be natural characteristic of each
leader keep in mind that leadership
styles are not static they are Dynamic
and they depend on the context a style
that works well in one situation might
not be as in effective as effective in
another this ability to adapt is what
separates effective leaders from The Not
So effective
ones now how do you identify your
leadership style it's a journey of
self-awareness and reflection you must
understand your natural preferences how
you react under stress and you're
approaching to inspiring and guiding
others it's about asking yourself are
you more of a directive leader or do you
drive on collaboration and input from
others do you inspire through vision or
do you drive performance through
structured processes in this lesson I
provide you with a complimentary
academic assessment that will help you
to determine your own leadership style
you can use the insights to bridge a gap
between your current leadership style
and being a growth leader there
