7 Leadership Styles
“It’s a unique interplay of vision, empowerment, and growth…” — Rick Cox
As Véronique Barrot lays it out in this post,
Each leadership style leaves its unique imprint,
influencing everything from morale to innovation.
Here’s a quick breakdown of 7 leadership styles,
their impact on team dynamics, and tips to adapt effectively:
1. Autocratic Leadership
→ Enables swift decisions but can stifle creativity.
Best reserved for crisis situations.
2. Democratic Leadership
→ Inspires ownership and sparks innovation.
Ideal when consensus is crucial.
3. Laissez-Faire Leadership
→ Enables autonomy but risks misalignment.
Works well with skilled, self-reliant teams.
4. Transformational Leadership
→ Fosters loyalty and growth through a shared vision.
Perfect for driving meaningful change.
5. Transactional Leadership
→ Brings clarity to goals but may curb creativity.
Striking the right balance is key.
6. Servant Leadership
→ Prioritizes team needs, building trust and support.
Nurtures a culture of positivity and empowerment.
7. Situational Leadership
→ Champions flexibility, adapting to the team’s readiness.
Tailor support to match the situation.
Leadership extends far beyond a title.
It’s about inspiring growth, empowering others,
and steering the ship while watching the horizon.
Adaptability isn’t optional; it’s essential.
