7 Questions to Discover Your Leadership Style
Take this quick quiz to discover which leadership style you lean toward most – and gain insights to help you lead with confidence.
Effective leadership is the backbone of any successful team or company. Research shows that the way we lead impacts everything – from staff morale and engagement to turnover rates and overall results.
But what does “good” leadership actually look like?
One of the most influential leadership theories is that of Goleman (2000), who put forward 6 common styles of leadership. This quiz is adapted from Goleman’s work, using his framework as inspiration to explore each style’s strengths, weaknesses, and key traits.
Final Thoughts
Just as people rarely fit into a single category, the same can be said for leadership styles. Although you may lean toward a specific style, most leaders are a blend of several.
As Goleman notes, “The best leaders don’t know just one style of leadership – they’re skilled at several, and have the flexibility to switch between styles as the circumstances dictate.”
