In the ever-evolving landscape of modern work, leadership remains a cornerstone of team success and organisational resilience.
Our recent #EngageAndGauge series sought to dive deep into the heart of effective leadership, asking our professional community: "Which leadership style resonates most for promoting a successful team?"
The response illuminated the diverse ways leadership can mould, challenge, and inspire teams across industries. Today, we're excited to share these insights and explore what they mean for the future of leadership.
A Spectrum of Leadership Styles
Our poll outlined four primary leadership styles, each with its own philosophy and approach to guiding teams:

Advocates for shared decision-making, valuing the voices and contributions of all team members.

Focuses on inspiring change, pushing teams beyond their boundaries to achieve extraordinary results.
?? Servant Leadership:
Prioritises the needs of the team, fostering an environment of support and growth.
??? Autocratic Leadership:
Emphasises clear, decisive direction, making swift decisions to guide the team forward.
