17. Different Types of Leaders

18. If you scored mostly gavels, YOU ARE AN AUTOCRATIC LEADER , LIKE  RIDLEY SCOTT

19. Autocratic leaders  often make decisions on their own and feel they need to be involved in every step of a project. While they tend to get a bad rap, or might be considered a bit cold or harsh, this style also famously gets stuff done. Because you’re not taking time to consult with others along the way, decisions are made quickly and your organization often reaps the rewards from this.

20. What you’re typically awesome at: Moving everything along Keeping a clear mind in stressful situations Getting control of a group What you need to be careful with: Overlooking the creative solutions and ideas of others Negatively impacting company morale

21. If you scored mostly scales , YOU ARE A DEMOCRATIC LEADER , LIKE INDRA NOOYI

22. Democratic leaders  often rely on their subordinates to help them make decisions. You invite the opinions of experts, the collective thoughts of the leadership team, and often, input from the greater organization. This style tends to unearth new ideas from others and helps employees feel like valued members of a team.

23. What you’re typically awesome at: Bringing the group together to discuss and making everyone feel heard Weighing input and multiple perspectives before making a decision What you need to be careful with: Taking too long to make a decision because you feel the need to reach a consensus Appearing like you’re holding back your own thoughts and opinions

24. If you scored mostly hands , YOU ARE A laissez - faire LEADER , LIKE warren buffet

25. French for “allow to do,” laissez-faire is a government policy that involves allowing the free market to run its own course without the government’s interference. A   laissez-faire leader  often delegates tasks to others and grants them the authority to make their own decisions. Laissez-faire leaders, typically remaining uninvolved, equip subordinates with what they need and then hand over the reins. They are, however, still ultimately responsible for the collective actions of the team.

26. What you’re typically awesome at: Building a topnotch team of experts Giving subordinates a sense of autonomy Getting involved only when necessary What you need to be careful with: Failing to assemble the right team—for example, this style is less effective when members can’t self-manage their time Misdirected team members who end up focusing on the wrong areas due to a lack of guidance Using your detached style as a scapegoat to avoid responsibility for the group’s actions

27. If you scored mostly coffee cups, YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE-CENTERED LEADER , LIKE HOWARD SCHULTZ

28. Employee-centered leaders  are committed to the success of each and every one of their team members. They often feel comfortable delegating tasks and are concerned with the personal and professional growth of their subordinates. They work hard to make sure employees feel they have a path to advance and achieve their individual goals. This type of leader tends to thrive at the executive level as their focus on relationship-building and morale propels the team forward.

29. "The employee-centered leader, on the other hand, believes in delegating decision-making and in helping followers satisfy their needs by providing a supportive work environment ( L ikert, 1967)."

30. What you’re typically awesome at: Helping people realize their fullest potential Facilitating relationships across teams Making employees feel respected, trusted, and valued What you need to be careful with: Focusing on your grand vision so much that you miss opportunities to contribute at a granular level Keeping key tasks and projects on your radar Sugarcoating difficult news or information

31. If you scored mostly pens, YOU ARE A job-centered LEADER , LIKE bill gates

32. Task-centered leaders will make sure things get done. They’ve got their eye on the prize and are great at facilitating subordinates to complete a larger task. While a task-centered leader is detail-oriented and precise, they can also tend to keep tabs on their subordinates’ work and progress, and be pretty vocal about specifics and deadlines.

33. What you’re typically awesome at: Making lists, plans, and schedules Helping the team understand their responsibility Keeping everyone on track and ensuring quality work What you need to be careful with: Causing employees to feel micromanaged or not trusted Focusing on the nitty-gritty so much that you lose sight of the larger picture Becoming autocratic

34. If you scored mostly smiley faces, YOU ARE A charismatic LEADER , LIKE ronald reagan

35. Charismatic leaders are captivating. They have no trouble gathering a room’s attention. They’re confident and have the ability to communicate in a way that can transform their subordinates’ values and beliefs. They tend to gain their organization’s trust easily and inspire others to get on board with whatever decision is on the table.

36. What you’re typically awesome at: Getting everyone to understand your vision Making people feel special and inspired to succeed Taking initiative and confidently moving forward with decisions What you need to be careful with: Your followers possibly losing steam and questioning your authenticity Taking advantage of your “powers” to persuade someone to make a bad decision

37. Transformational Leader Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their workforce without micromanaging — they trust trained employees to take authority over decisions in their assigned jobs. It’s a management style that’s designed to give employees more room to be creative, look to the future and find new solutions to old problems. Employees on the leadership track will also be prepared to become transformational leaders themselves through mentorship and training.

38. Transformational Leadership Characteristics According to Bass , these are the hallmarks of a transformational leader that sets them apart from other leadership styles. A transformational leader is someone who: Encourages the motivation and positive development of followers Exemplifies moral standards within the organization and encourages the same of others Fosters an ethical work environment with clear values, priorities and standards. Builds company culture by encouraging employees to move from an attitude of self-interest to a mindset where they are working for the common good Holds an emphasis on authenticity, cooperation and open communication Provides coaching and mentoring but allowing employees to make decisions and take ownership of tasks

39. When it comes to what’s going on in the organization, leaders are either making it happen (good or bad), allowing it to happen (good or bad), or preventing it from happening (good or bad). Ultimately, the top leader is responsible, whether they accept responsibility or not.

40. Great leaders often share much in common, but the ways they lead can run the gamut. When you understand your own leadership styles and methods, you can be more self-aware of any associated pros and cons and identify ways you can manage your people more effectively.

41. If we desire to grow and reach our potential, we must pay more attention to our character than our success. John C. Maxwell
