leadership is the ability to get
extraordinary achievement from ordinary
people hello I'm Brian Tracy today I
want to talk to you about how you can
use five different leadership styles to
inspire your team to deliver their very
best performance the top of the leader
is to get things done by leading others
to success it's important to develop
leadership styles that suit different
situations depending upon the needs of
the team or the team member great
leaders choose their style based on the
circumstances and the end goal here are
the five leadership styles you should
develop the first leadership style is
structural everyone knows exactly what
needs to be done and why it needs to be
done and to what standard you accept
complete responsibility for your staff
you choose them you assign them and you
manage them with the expectation of
excellent work this style allows you to
make decisions without the input or
challenge of others the structure of
style can allow for more transactional
activities to occur like rewarding or
punishing team members based on their
performance on your predetermined goals
use this style when your team is already
motivated and our experts who need field
direction however since there isn't much
room for flexibility using this style
too much or on a team that isn't already
motivated can lead to them to feeling
overwhelmed and stifle innovation the
next leadership style is participated
you make your team feel that you really
care about them by putting them first
you practice the friendship factor with
them which is composed of three
components time caring
respect you treat them with the same
respect patience and understanding the
same way you would treat a family member
or friend you express care and concern
for them and their problems which
fosters a feeling of bonding belonging
and ownership to the organization
this style boosts your team's morale by
allowing them to participate in reaching
a consensus of decisions and goals their
opinions and voices feel heard which
will help them buy into changes easier
it also works best when you need fresh
ideas or new perspectives use this style
during stressful times or when Trust
needs to be built and maintained but
excessively relying on praise and
nurturing can cause mediocre performance
over time and a lack of clear strong
direction for the company the third
leadership style is servant leadership
this makes the participative style more
one-sided or you see your job as a means
to serve your team just as they are
there to serve you in the company you
practice the golden rule you manage
other people the way you would like to
be managed you ensure that everyone
understands their job fully and has all
the tools they need before they begin if
they don't you offer plenty of learning
training and improvement opportunities
this style really elicits peak
performance because your employees are a
learning vital skills that will both
improve their performance and improve
them as people their participation ideas
and feedback truly feel like they matter
choose this style with a diverse team
where personalized management is
required for each member
certain leadership is a great style to
start off with to gain a great deal of
respect trust and loyalty and to build a
strong culture since it tailors to the
team's needs but if you don't balance
this style very well this could lead to
your team fully running the show
lack of authority and limited direction
and vision the next style is freedom you
give your people the freedom to perform
once you assign a task you try to stay
out of the way only to comment and help
when needed you take on more of an
authoritative role by pointing the team
towards a vision or goal but similar to
the certain style you leave the means up
to each member this style inspires an
entrepreneurial spirit with a clear goal
in your team members especially if they
need a new vision due to changes within
the company use this style when you have
tremendous expertise and have a team of
highly experienced employees who don't
require a lot of supervision but the
freedom style will work well when your
team are better experts than you or who
need more supervision this can lead to
poor production lack of regular feedback
and lack of control the last leadership
style is transformational this one is my
personal favorite transformational
leaders affect people's emotions by
painting a big exciting picture of the
future you transform people by tapping
into their hopes and dreams and ideals
you motivate employees by being
motivated yourself and enhance
productivity through high transparency
and communication this style uses vision
and the future to get your team excited
and committed to a project it doesn't
only require the ownership of your team
to accomplish goals
it also requires your ownership and
involvement as a leader you lead by
example by being excited and totally
committed yourself in everything you say
and do use this style to focus on
building lasting personal strengths that
makes your teammates more successful and
confident in you themselves and the
company unless you lack proficiency or
your team is defiant and unwilling to
change or learn this style will inspire
work alleviate fears and help you
overcome obstacles altogether and there
you have it the five different
leadership styles remember the process
of developing leadership styles is
simple but not easy nothing worthwhile
is easy the good news is that by
developing these Styles you will notice
a change in your employees work bring
your team to a great success increase
productivity and inspire people formance
