Which of These Six Leadership Styles Works Best? WSJ Article by Alan Murray

The Six Styles of Leadership Visionary Coaching Affiliative Democratic Pacesetting Commanding

1. Visionary Appropriate when company needs new direction "Visionary leaders articulate where a group is going, but not how it will get there.”-Daniel Goleman People are free to experiment and innovate

2. Coaching A one-on-one style that focuses on developing individuals by showing them how to improve performance Works best when employee shows initiative Micromanaging problem

3. Affiliative Emphasizes team work and creates harmony in a group setting Used to increase morale, communication, and broken trust Too much group praise could lead to mediocrity

4. Democratic Used in organizations with unclear direction Taps into collective wisdom of the group Not used if time is an important factor

5. Pacesetting Leader sets high standards for performance The leader is obsessive about everyone’s performance "Our data shows that, more often than not, pacesetting poisons the climate”- Daniel Goleman

6. Commanding A “military” style of commanding Most often used, least often effective Involves criticism, hurts morale Most effective in urgent situations

Something to Remember.. “what distinguishes each leadership style above is not the personal characteristics of the leader, but rather the nature and needs of those who are being led.”- Alan Murray
