How can you develop a leadership style that suits you?

Leadership is rarely an innate skill. Investing in developing/harnessing leadership ability takes time and considerable effort - just as becoming a technical expert cannot be achieved by simply reading a few articles. Adapting your style to the sector/environment in which you operate also requires an understanding of that sector, as well as the types of individuals that comprise your team. The situation in which you and the team find themselves operating in (a huge variable) also requires a nuanced approach, for example meeting key deadlines versus BaU pace. Finally, true leadership is inherently personal, both for the leader, and how it is received by your team. Enjoy it, and make sure you understand them as much as possible.

The first step is very important as we need work on our weakness and work on it to develop our skills. Many of us do not concentrate on the weakness which is very important for our personality development.

Assessing your strengths and weaknesses is like playing a game of "Know Thyself"! You get to uncover your hidden superpowers and discover your kryptonite. With the right tools and feedback, you can level up your leadership skills and become a superhero in your own right. So put on your cape and let's get started!

Conducting a self SWOT analysis might as be done by a either a self loving individual or an emo that hates everything. Biases are inert and inevitable . Best to have a third party conduct and analyze the results for you. Less bias, more objective, and better overall results. Sure, as adults we know what we're good at and what we're weak at. However, we'll overemphasize the things we're good at at undervalue the opposite.

Inspired by someone? Resist the urge to be a copycat; instead, engage in a tête-à-tête with your inner self. Ponder why their words resonate with you, not just audibly, but on a soul-deep level. Explore the core of their style, the appeal of their message, and the wide view of their perspective that gives you goosebumps. Consider how you feel after reading their words - does it energize you, make you think deeply, or make you feel motivated to achieve great things? Remember, emulation is an art; mimicry is a mere parlour trick. Just as we diversify our news sources for a well-rounded view, drawing influence from various inspirations ensures a range of responses from your audience.

Positive energy/outlook is contagious. Don't need to look at others and read books and manuals. Interact in a positive way and realize that, just like kids, people who like you will look at you for inspiration and as a role model.

Flexibility and open-mindedness is true. I don't experiment. I use and learn. I expect results from my interactions. Experimentation leads to the expectation of an unknown result. Results have to be known. You use the approach and tools you are confident with and expect results.

It's time to break out the lab coat and goggles, because it's experimentation time! Think of yourself as a mad scientist of leadership, mixing and matching different styles and methods to create the ultimate formula for success. Will you be a transformational leader who inspires your team to greatness, or a servant leader who puts the needs of others first? Only by experimenting with different approaches can you discover your true leadership superpowers. So let's get experimenting!

That is true. Alignment is exactly what's needed for a productive and cohesive team. Those not aligned with the company/team values, often don't stay too long. Either fired or quit on their own. Weeds pluck themselves, in this context.

Get ready to channel your inner superhero, because developing your vision and values as a leader is like crafting your own personal superhero code! What is your mission and purpose? What are the values and principles that guide your actions and decisions? By developing your own vision and values, you can become a leader who inspires and motivates your team to achieve greatness. So grab your cape, put on your mask, and let's define your leadership superpowers!

I have realized leadership involves working with people and developing environments in which they can thrive. People are dynamic and whatever we do for them should reflect relevance in the different cultures and environments.

Yes. Agreed. Continuous development through training is needed to succeed. The world is continously moving in all directions, and unless you dance at the same pace or faster, you'll be left behind.

It's time to let your leadership flag fly and be confidently you! You don't need to be a copycat or imitate anyone else's style. You've got your own unique set of skills and personality traits that make you an awesome leader. Embrace your quirks, celebrate your diversity, and let your true self shine through. And remember, confidence is key! So strike a power pose, repeat some positive affirmations, and practice self-care like the superhero you are. With confidence and authenticity, you can lead your team to greatness.

Have constant meetings with your team and be bold to take decisions then share gains, take responsibility for any mistakes. Give simple instructions too
