What are the different leadership styles?
The different leadership styles are outlined by Daniel Goleman. He suggests that there are at least six different styles, namely:
1. Visionary leader
The visionary leader primarily focuses on the goal that needs to be achieved and ensuring that everyone in the team is aligned toward that goal.
2. People-oriented leader
The people-oriented leader primarily focuses on the well-being of the team and its individuals. They strive to provide a listening ear to team members and motivate them.
3. Authoritative leader
The authoritative leader primarily focuses on giving instructions to their team members. They do not assume that team members are capable of executing tasks on their own.
4. Coaching leader
The coaching leader primarily focuses on identifying (and working with) the strengths and weaknesses of their team members. They collaborate with team members to develop skills and achieve better results in the long term.
5. Democratic leader
The democratic leader primarily focuses on involving their team members in decision-making processes. By doing so, they cultivate a sense of responsibility among team members.
6. Competitive leader
The competitive leader primarily focuses on continuously improving the products of their organization and their team members. They often use external motivators to reward good (or better) behavior.
