This week, I want to talk about your personal leadership style. What is your leadership style or what do you want it to be? I don’t think you need to put a specific label on it and/or pigeonhole yourself into a specific approach. It’s more important that you reflect on the questions below. There is some level of commitment to the long-term vision while being flexible to form. As a leader, fairness and consistency with employees is crucial, but you also have to flex your style based on different personalities, generations, development needs, etc.
How do you want to provide direction? How do you want to delegate? How do you want to hold people accountable? How do you want to implement plans? How are you going to deal with underperforming employees? How do you want to motivate people? How do you develop people? How do you balance task management + people management and do you emphasize one over the other? How do you get buy-in from others? How do you build trust? Are you clear on your leadership strengths? How do you adapt to change? Do you encourage innovation and how do you do this? How do you provide feedback? How do you accept feedback? Do you leave a leadership legacy daily? How do you show appreciation? What’s your communication style? What values do you exhibit? What are the effects of this leadership style on others?
Leadership is not just some empty formulas, but establishing deep connection at soul levels through service, integrity, passion, perseverance and equanimity.
The real power of a leader is in the number of minds he can reach, hearts he can touch, souls he can move, and lives he can change.
