Leadership Styles and Tendencies

Description

Accomplishing the most, with and through others, requires leaders to know their own style and tendencies and to appreciate the styles and tendencies of others.  The diversity of our working relationship and situations requires us to be more flexible in connecting with others.  Each of us has our own unique style, or leadership style.  When we interact with others who have a similar leadership style, communication is relatively easy.  When we deal with others who have different leadership styles from ours, communication and cooperation can be challenging.  The most important element of working across different leadership styles is our flexibility; our willingness and our ability to see things from the other person’s point of view.  In this module you analyze four leadership styles, or styles of interacting with others.  You examine the characteristics of each style and take an assessment to determine your own leadership style.  You focus on working with others across leadership styles to sustain motivating, successful relationships, and better results in your career.
 
At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
 

• Identify the characteristics of four Leadership Styles
• Assess our own zone
• Work more effectively across zones
• Develop a greater understanding of other leadership styles
