Timestamps:
[00:04] - Intro
[00:37] - Leadership sets the tone for an organization and accounts for as much as 30 percent of the company’s bottom line.
[01:49] - Leadership styles are broken down in different ways, but the most important thing is just to grasp that things are going to look different from leader to leader.
[02:26] - Summary of leadership styles from Corporate Finance Institute
[05:28] - Summary of leadership styles from Daniel Goleman
[07:03] - The labels are not critical in looking at styles. But Goleman likely was on the right track in that he connected the styles to what was happening between people.
[07:37] - You can always go online to take a test to assess your style, but there are other ways to figure out where you lean, such as looking at the people you admire, considering your strengths and weaknesses, thinking of your personality, and getting insights from others.
[09:12] - Goleman asserted people flip-flip in and out of the styles based on their circumstances. You can think of leadership as a spectrum or ratio set, and all of us are capable of displaying any style in that spectrum or set.
[10:29] - Jesus was a powerful servant leader, but was also adept in other styles.
[11:52] - Because God is adept at all leadership styles, He can handle anything and be stable. We have a responsibility to model Him and prepare ourselves for His work by becoming adept in leadership styles, as well.
[12:48] - Prayer
