It is not enough to be leaders, we must exercise effective leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership is a highly studied and discussed topic, we believe that we know it well and that our style works... until one day something makes us see that our team is unmotivated, disunited and that we will not be able to achieve our objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that is not the case, but it never hurts to turn the spotlight on ourselves and analyze our own performance, possibly there will be something to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important to know them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because once you learn to identify yours, you can make the adjustments to become the leader your company needs. Remember: self-knowledge is a great tool, it will help you know your strengths and areas of opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of leader should I be? Is there one that is better than the others? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily. Although some types of leadership have more advantages than others, the one you will need to exercise will depend on a set of variables such as your own personality, the personality of your employees, the company culture and its objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is undeniable that as a leader you will influence your people: for better or worse. One of your goals should be to improve their performance and well-being. On the other hand, take into account that negative leadership can generate stress, low self-esteem or even burnout<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, do you have your type of leadership well identified? Below, we list the most common ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Democratic or participatory. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The democratic leader decides taking into consideration the opinion of his team, seeks to involve everyone and delegates authority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Autocratic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      On the contrary, autocrats act on their own, no one questions their decisions, they expect obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Laissez-Faire or delegative.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The \u201clet-do\u201d style is very flexible, it intervenes little, it provides tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Transformational.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Transformational leaders seek to inspire their team to \u201cgo further\u201d, they cultivate change, they motivate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Transactional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            The transactional ones see the short term, they look for their collaborators to meet certain objectives and they reward them for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Bureaucratic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              The bureaucratic ones stick to the rules, they are not very flexible, they follow tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Of service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                For the servant leader, the team is his priority. They try to develop and inspire their people. They have strong values and ideals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, regardless of your style, you will have to check if it has the characteristics of effective leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
