(Check two recent uses of the What's My... tools on our Team Blog.)

By definition, effective leaders are able influence others to work towards achieving goals. But the way they choose to do so varies from leader to leader. While one leader may rally troops around a cause, another might typically bolster their team's self-confidence. So is one style better than another? Not necessarily.

Current theory suggests that different situations require different leadership styles. In fact, the most successful leaders are those who are able to adapt their style to the unique demands of the situation. The latest addition to the Style Series, What's My Leadership Style? is a thought-provoking instrument that provides individuals with insight into their preferred style of leading others.

Individuals will:

• Identify their preferred leadership style.
• Understand their style's strengths and weaknesses.
• Learn how to adjust their style in different situations.

We highly recommend this tool for anyone who needs to influence others towards achieving a goal. What's My Leadership Style? is perfect for all types of leaders from front-line supervisors, to mid-level managers, to top executives.

Testimonials
"We recently held a two-day development session for the leadership group within our Operations area. In this session, he used an instrument called What's My Leadership Style? in order to help people understand their primary style of leadership. This proved to an invaluable session as it allowed us to have dialogue with other leaders regarding our primary style. It also helped us to understand each other a bit better and to realize that it is important to have diversity among the leadership. It is a quick, yet insightful instrument!"
