What’s the Best Leadership Style?
The right leadership in any given situation is determined not by the leader’s capabilities but the follower’s needs.
Spoiler Alert: There’s no such thing as a single best leadership style that’s appropriate in every situation.
In fact, to be a great leader, you need to be able to do the opposite: vary your style depending upon the particular person, issue being addressed and/or situation. And you can’t be either a leader or a manager in every situation and succeed. From this perspective, too, you have to be able to vary your modality appropriately.
