Leadership Masterclass: Working with your Leadership Style

Great leaders can be many things, but they can only be measured by one criterion - the performance that they influence through others. In today's volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous workplace, it is not enough to be a manager. You must truly learn how to be a leader - someone who influences and transforms how others feel about themselves and the work they do. Your leadership behaviour has the greatest impact on the people you lead and your team. This will impact the productivity and the motivation of everyone. It affects the effort that people are prepared to contribute. The more they contribute, the more successful the team will be. There is no right or wrong leadership style - the most effective style will vary depending upon the demands of the situation. Effective leaders use these styles in the right measure and at the right time to create a positive, energising work climate for their teams.
