Leadership styles

With Miha

You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case Leadership is about becoming a follower of ones own principles

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail

LEADERSHIP STYLES
Directing Style: The emphasis is on control and close supervision of the worker. Coaching Style: The leader provides more explanation of what the job entails and solicits suggestions while still staying in control of the situation Supporting Style: There is a team approach between the leader and the follower with the leader emphasizing support on the follower rather than control Delegating Style: The leader turns over responsibility to the worker
