Leadership Types and Styles

Leadership types and styles play a crucial role in determining how effectively a leader can motivate and influence others. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want to be done because they want to do it. (Dwight D. Eisenhower) Understanding leadership and leadership styles can help you get ahead in almost any organizational setting by recognizing how different approaches impact performance and team dynamics.

Leadership and leadership styles are about creating a clear vision, sharing it with others so that they willingly follow it, providing the right information to achieve that vision, and managing the diverse interests of all members and stakeholders.

A true leader stands firm during a crisis, showing creativity, confidence, and innovative problem-solving in challenging situations. Understanding leadership types and styles allows individuals to adapt their approach according to the team’s needs and the situation’s demands.
