Affiliative ‘’People come first’’ – to heat rifts in a team or to motivate people during stressful circumstances.
Democratic ‘’What do you think’’ – to build consensus or to get input from valuable employees.
Pacesetting ‘’Do as I do, now’’ – to get quick results from a highly motivated and competent team.
Commanding ‘’Do what I tell you’’ – in a crisis, to kickstart a turn around, with problem employees.
The workspace is changing, leadership is changing. The future is Habits of Collaborative Leaders. Collaborate leaders believe power is greatest in a collective team, openly share information and knowledge, encourage suggestions and ideas from their team, facilitate brainstorming with their team, enable their team by allocating time and resources right away, allow roles and responsibilities to evolve and fluctuate, offer immediate and ongoing feedback and personalized coaching.
Habits of Collaborative Leaders will eclipse competition every time.
Individual work will always have its place in the office but teamwork and collaboration boost overall company success.
I hope your team will be transformed from Me into We and my post will help your company drive innovation, productivity and growth.
