What leadership styles are best?

Q. Over the past few years, I’ve had a variety of managers with different leadership styles from bullying to autocratic to charismatic to floundering. Someday I hope I’ll be a great leader. How do I develop great leadership when I have poor role models?

A. Leadership is a great topic to study and exercise. Leading is a process that you continually need to improve. You’ll spend your life experimenting with what works and doesn’t work for you, for your followers, and in different situations. In a life and death situation where you need to be decisive, you may adopt an autocratic leadership style; it’s not the time to sit down, brainstorm, and listen to everyone’s ideas. When you’re creating and scaling an organization in a rapid-growing market, being a transformational leader may be the best style. There are at least nine leadership styles; learn what they are and when you need to use each.

Invite ideas, experiment often, create systems and processes that are linked to customers needs, and encourage learning, improving and working together as your dynamic culture.? There are many styles of leadership.? Some are useful and others aren’t.? Bullies and narcissists while they may have leadership positions, do not leave a legacy of contributing to society. They generally destroy the people and systems around them. Great leaders develop the people around them and work collaboratively.??
