Management Styles

Are You a Boss or a Leader?

Your management style sets the tone for your entire team. Here’s how to know yours…

  • The Dictator: “My way or the highway” stifles innovation and breeds resentment.
  • The Micromanager: Hovering erodes team confidence and bogs everyone down in minutia.
  • The Laissez-Faire Leader: Hands-off can work with highly skilled teams, but most need more support.
  • The Coach: Guides and empowers, maximizing individual and team potential.
  • Situational is Best: Adapting your style to fit the task and team member develops your skills.
  • It’s a Journey, Not a Destination: Great managers constantly evolve their style as their experience grows.

Become aware of your default style, and flex intentionally for best results.
