Leadership Styles

1. Research shows that managers make over 1,500 work-

related decisions per day

2. At times we have a day/week/month to plan our

approach but more often, decisions on matters of

leadership style are made in real-time, in 1/100ths of a

second

3. Develop skill using your full toolbox


Leadership Styles…

“In studying strategic and operational plans at 35 companies… when

the managers used an overly directive approach, 58% of the time

plans failed to be implemented.

For managers who used more participative approaches in the

development and execution of the plan and priorities… plans were

implemented 96% of the time.”

- Dr. Daniel Goleman


The Leadership Toolbox: Leadership Styles

Key Learning Points:

How effective are we if we only have 1 tool?

The key to being effective as a leader is a broad repertoire of styles.

If our only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail !

The goal is to have a full toolbox and use the right tool for the job.

The ability to shift gears is critical

The more styles we have command over, the more situations we can

lead and manage effectively
