Leadership TypesThere all kinds of leadership types in the workplace today. What type are you? I have been in the workforce for close to forty years and have seen every type you can imagine. Some of course were very successful, while others floundered around and eventually failed. We will discuss the good and/or the bad of the various leadership styles, and then you can determine where you fit into all of this. The real key is to recognize who you are as a leader and taping into the strengths of that style and getting rid of the weaknesses. For instance if you are someone that enjoys teaching then tap into that. Develop that style. Make sure you don't come across as a know it all! Take your ability to teach and interject it into your daily interactions with your staff. Maybe it is seeing something that needs corrected and approaching it by saying something like, "let me show you a little trick!" Rather than saying, "here is the way that is done!" As someone that has been successful in a leadership role for most of my adult life, I believe that you can always enhance your leadership skills. However, I don't believe everyone can be a leader. Just as I don't believe that everyone can be a professional basketball player. You either have the basic makeup of a leader or you don't. I do believe that if you have the basic makeup of a leader, those skills, just like a professional basketball player, can be enhanced with the right teacher. That is what I hope to accomplish with this information for you. I have provided links to all of the various leadership types below - just click on the one of interest to you!
