| Overview: Leadership style is the way a leader chooses to deal with the issues facing him or her in the team. Whereas managers may respond to the team from a limited range of options, perhaps dictated by personal preferences, organisational policy or lack of skills, leaders make choices about what style to use. They may lead from the front in barricade-storming style; they may hold back and hear what the team has to say; they may even withdraw entirely from view and work unseen. To the versatile leader, all options are possible if it builds the team, motivates individuals and gets the result. |
