Which Leadership Styles Are Most Effective

I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster...

Charismatic Leadership

Charismatic leaders are those with the ability to inspire, energize and motivate their team members. Having the ability to create excitement and enthusiasm within team members is obviously an enormous benefit for any leader.

As with any leadership style there are positives and negatives associated. Although inspiring team members to do their very best and achieve stellar results is a very good thing, charismatic leaders tend to believe in themselves more than the team, and this can create the risk that a project might collapse should that leader leave it. Also, charismatic leaders often believe they can do no wrong and may not listen when others warn of problems.

Democratic/Participative Leadership

This type of leadership style takes a more balanced approach to completing tasks. Democratic leaders include team members in the decision-making process and encourage creativity and problem solving, however, in the end, they make the final decisions.

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call (0404) 056-788 or email me at steve@thechangegym.com.
