You are not a Leader

“Being a great leader means recognizing that different circumstances may call for different approaches.”

Daniel Goleman

Every one has a boss,

Before you start your career and leave your parents ?home, your father is the boss, when you get your first job, you have been assigned to a boss.

Even when you marry, it is the only situation where you select your boss with all your mental faculties....:-)

?Eventually one day you will be a boss in your work....(but not at home)

Much has been written about common leadership styles and how to identify the right style for you, whether it’s transactional or transformational, bureaucratic or laissez-faire, Though the?world has changed ?over the past two decades, these leadership styles remain relevant. Mastering them will help you navigate the complexities of different situations, boost morale, and drive your team’s long-term growth

?but lets focus on main ones and how to get best out of it:-

?-??????? Dictator - is not considered as leadership style, it is part of management style which is the worst ever, he listen to himself only & need every one to obey.

?This style is characterized by top-down decision making,?an authoritarian approach , and a demanding, do-what-I-say attitude, he says. While this style may yield short-term results, it has a corrosive long-term impact on the company culture, leading to high employee turnover and a disillusioned, disengaged workforce.

?

This command-and-control leadership style may work in certain crisis situations where swift, decisive action and a clear chain of command are needed: a corporate takeover or in an emergency room, for instance. In most cases, though, this approach is likely to be detrimental.

?

-??????? Democratic – which involves creating consensus.

This style involves empowering your team to have a voice in decision-making. By taking the?time to gather input , listen to concerns and diverse perspectives, and incorporate feedback, you show your team members that their opinions matter, their voices are heard, and their contributions are valued. This gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility.

?

This style is ideal when you’re?unsure about the best course of action ?and want to generate ideas. But it’s not a good strategy when your team members lack experience or information, or in times of crisis.

-??????? Affiliative -? which centers around building emotional bonds

?This leadership style involves building strong emotional bonds, creating a sense of camaraderie and team spirit, and fostering a?positive and supportive workplace. ?This helps team members feel like they belong, can freely share ideas and feedback, and work together towards common goals.

This relationship-oriented style is especially valuable in shaping a positive work environment, which is particularly important, You can create a caring, cohesive community rather than an administrative machine by getting to know your employees on a personal level and celebrating their wins, he says.

?

This style builds connections and creates a positive company culture, but it should not be used in isolation. It may not provide sufficient feedback to address performance issues or deal with complex challenges. Combining this approach with the other styles creates more balance by offering both support and direction

-??????? Coaching -? which focuses on developing people for their future & lead by example.

The?coaching style is focused on individual growth , and involves dedicating time to understand your team members’ long-term goals, both for their personal and professional development. “Asking questions like, ‘What do you want from your life, your career, this job? And, how can I help you?’ encourages your employees to reflect on their aspirations and work towards achieving them,” says Goleman. By taking a genuine interest in their development, you help your employees feel valued and motivated.
