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.
