ADAPT YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE
You needn�t be the heavy - or the softie - all the time. Use the following leadership styles as needed to get your point across to employees:
-
Coercive - This �do what I tell you� style demands immediate compliance. It is best used in a crisis, to start a turnaround, or deal with a difficult employee. It should be used the least so that it has the most wallop behind it.
-
Affiliative - You can create harmony and build emotional bonds with this �people come first� style. Use it to heal rifts in a team or to motivate employees during difficult times.
-
Authoritative - This �come with me� style mobilizes people toward a vision. Use it when your systems, business, or product requires a new direction.
-
-
Coaching - Develop people for the future with a �try this� approach. Use this style to help an employee improve performance or develop long-term strengths. Introduce it by asking people if they want a mentor.
-
Democratic - If you want to enhance buy-in or get input from valuable employees, ask them, �What do you think?� This leadership style forges concensus through participation.
-
Pacesetting - Look out: Employees can burn out quickly if you expect them to constantly keep up with you. Use this �do as I do now� style only occasionally when you want quick results from a highly motivated and competent team.
