Description

In this episode, David continues his CALM leadership series by looking at the six styles of leadership and how each type of leader shows up and leads their teams. He explains the pros and cons of each approach, how to assess which one you are, and which styles work best for which situations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How you show up, makes a huge difference to how effective you are.
• A positive and strong working culture comes from people who lead by example.
• In most cases those who have affiliative, democratic, coaching, authoritative visionary leadership styles build stronger, more cooperative teams.
• Most people are familiar with the coercive and authoritative styles of leadership, which can be good for getting things done quickly, but rarely build strong, constructive teams.
• Have a clear vision, be direct and communicate what the goal is but use a more collaborative style of leadership to work out how to get there and provide support and training where needed.
• There is a time and place for all of the six leadership styles, you just need to learn to use each one selectively. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Only 40% of people trust their boss.’

‘How you show up needs to be consistent…but it also needs to be right for the circumstances.’

‘The presence of pacesetting and coercion alone becomes really unhealthy.’

‘I'm not saying that you should never pace set. I'm not saying that you should never coerce.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
