Which leadership style are you?

Servant + Situational

Working with a cross-functional team that currently is comprised of a mix of customer, business, and technical representatives require the leader to be situational. Along with the broad cultural demographics that the technical teams bring to the table means that your style needs to adapt on a case by case basis.

I think at the start of any project/task etc, all leaders are situational. They assess the environment that they are working in, the team members and chemistry, and the project/task itself. As it progresses, leaders should fluidly move between styles.

I'm situational, as it should be.

My style is "democratic". This style of leadership includes the team in the decision making.

Situational. But I also recognize to be democratic in some cases.

This is a really good one, my answer; "it depends" on the situation i find myself in.

My all-time favorite is to be charismatic or transformational leadership style, i love being able to help everyone connect the dots. The "oh" moment when they finally get it, what we are doing, why we are doing it and what their contributions to the success entails. It makes everyone excited to be part of the project.

I find the democratic leadership style to be very trying and Lord have mercy, very exhausting atimes, having managed projects where getting a consensus on weekly meetings was almost impossible. You can imagine dealing with stakeholders in that organization. I love for everyone to have a say and voice but people who join in because it is open to everyone task my patience!

It depends on who I'm working with, if its concerning my team members - directive if they are working on new tasks (thing they have never done) and coaching for the higher performing team members. Leadership style with the customer - tends to be more situational and directive.
