Which of the aforementioned styles best fit you?

An important key to successful leadership is to know how, when and how much of a particular style is needed at specific points and in specific situation.

When is it important for you to lead with vision? When to lead through people and with drive to maximize performance?

It is equally important that you know how to build your team so that vision and strategy, creativity and innovation, assessment and development, analysis of performance and execution of strategy, systems and procedures, product and service standards, measurements and quality control, change catalyst and negotiation are all covered in a balanced way within your team.

Anyone can steer a ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course

Leadership excellence involves the ability to:

• Influence people to bring about change and to know that in any change situation, some people are going to be unhappy with the change.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

• Max Lucado

• Motivate people in order to engender quality, effectiveness and productivity in the achievement of the change, not only through the means of an authority structure, rather through the capacity to inspire.
