Adapting Leadership Styles to the Situation

Team lead­ers may suc­ceed in guid­ing their team to a high lev­el of per­for­mance for weeks or months at a time. Then one day the same skills and approach­es no longer work so well in a new sit­u­a­tion. That’s why one of the most impor­tant skills lead­ers can have is the will­ing­ness and abil­i­ty to adapt their lead­er­ship style to the sit­u­a­tion. Learn the four lead­er­ship styles, when to use each, and how to assess our own pref­er­ences, strengths and weak­ness­es so that we can devel­op our adap­tive lead­er­ship capability.
