How does your leadership style impact others?
Bill Withers, a leadership specialist and associate of mine says, “Leaders get people to do what they ordinarily would not do.” How they do this differs from person to person. Could you describe your own leadership style? Do you know why it is (or isn’t) effective? It’s amazing to me the number of managers/leaders who have little understanding of their leadership style and its impact on others. If this resonates with you, I suggest you consider doing the following:
- A behavioral profile on yourself to see and understand your behavioral style (first one is free).
- After step 1, read a piece on the pluses and minuses of your leadership style (I will send this to you).
- Do a creative planning session (We will be happy to facilitate this for you) with your team to explore this subject in more detail.
You and your leadership can gain new insights on how to better support and empower those you lead.
Be well. Stay on purpose.
