LEADERSHIP
<!-- Slide number: 2 -->
At some point, in your career, you may take on a leadership role in some capacity. Whether you are leading a meeting, a project, a team or an entire department, you might consider identifying with or adopting a defined leadership style.
Most professionals develop their own style of leadership based on factors like experience and personality as well as the unique needs of their company and its organisational culture. While every leader is different, there are ten leadership styles commonly used in the workplace.

Why Are Leadership Styles Important?
<!-- Slide number: 4 -->
As you develop leadership skills, you’ll likely use different processes and methods to achieve your employer’s objectives and meet the needs of the employees who report to you.
To be effective as a manager, you might use several different leadership styles at any given time.
<!-- Slide number: 5 -->
By taking the time to familiarize yourself with each of these types of leadership, you might recognize certain areas to improve upon or expand your own leadership style. You can also identify other ways to lead that might better serve your current goals and understand how to work with managers who follow a different style than your own.

There are ten most common leadership styles:
<!-- Slide number: 7 -->
1. Coach
<!-- Slide number: 8 -->
A coaching leader is someone who can quickly recognize their team members’ strengths, weaknesses and motivations to help each individual improve.
This type of leader often assists team members in setting smart goals and then provides regular feedback with challenging projects to promote growth.
They’re skilled in setting clear expectations and creating a positive, motivating environment.
<!-- Slide number: 9 -->
The coach leadership style is one of the most advantageous for employers as well as for the employees they manage.
Unfortunately, it’s often also one of the most under utilised styles-largely because it can be more time-intensive than other types of leadership.
<!-- Slide number: 10 -->
Example: A sales manager gathers his team of account executives for a meeting to discuss learnings from the previous quarter. They start the meeting by completing an assessment together of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats regarding the team’s performance. The manager then recognizes specific team members for exceptional performance and goes over the goals achieved by the team. Finally, the manager closes the meeting by announcing a contest to start the next quarter in order to motivate the sales people to reach their goals.

2. Visionary
<!-- Slide number: 12 -->
Visionary leaders have a powerful ability to drive progress and usher in periods of change by inspiring employees and earning trust for new ideas. A visionary leader is also able to establish a strong organizational bond. They strive to foster confidence among direct reports and colleagues alike.
This type of leadership is especially helpful for small, fast-growing organizations or larger organizations experiencing transformations or corporate restructuring.
<!-- Slide number: 13 -->
Example: A teacher starts a group at work for colleagues who want to help resolve anxieties and issues students have outside of school. The goal is to help students better focus on and succeed at school. He has developed testing methods so they can find meaningful ways to help students in a quick and efficient way.
