The result is fierce loyalty. This style is particularly effective for rebuilding teamwork, trust and morale. However it can leave some workers feeling rudderless, so is best used in combination with the authoritative style. Let s do this together . Authoritative leaders state a clear vision for their people and motivate them by making clear how their work contributes to that vision.
People see why their work matters and are given flexibility in achieving their goals.
This is the most positive leadership style and works in most situations-unless the leader is less experienced than his team. Vary your leadership style to the situation and you shouldn t have to worry about any self-inflicted wounds. We d like to hear your strategy for leadership. Republished with permission.
