Leadership style is a combination of directive and supportive behaviors. A good leader knows when to be directive-giving clear instructions and setting expectations and when to be supportive, offering encouragement, listening, and empowering others.
The directive side ensures that tasks are completed efficiently and that the team stays aligned with goals, while the supportive side fosters trust, builds morale, and encourages growth and independence.
A great leader flexes between the two, adapting to the situation, the team's needs, and the individuals within it. It’s about knowing when to lead from the front and when to step back and let the team shine.
