What Type of a Leader Are You?

When there is significant conflict within my team

I convene a team meeting to facilitate open dialogue and resolution

I emphasize our common goals that need to be achieved

I allow team members to work independently to minimize disruptions

Some of my team members possess exceptional skills and motivation

They are granted the freedom to utilize their talents to their fullest extent

They frequently engage in creative planning sessions with me

They are subject to the same workplace strategies and processes as all other team members

When faced with an eight-hour project deadline for a task I believe requires 16 hours

I communicate the deadline and trust the team to manage it, as they are experienced

I seek input from team members on the most efficient approach to completion

I assign specific instructions and deadlines to each team member

Dealing with poor performance should involve

Disciplinary measures to prevent recurrence

Constructive discussions with the individual to facilitate learning

Minimal intervention, as the issue may resolve itself

For the development and implementation of a new social media strategy

I create the strategy personally and then present it to the team

I delegate the project to team members and request a plan from them.

I inform the team of the challenge and request their input for potential solutions

In my view, exceptional leaders

Possess superior knowledge and expertise, which is why they lead

Demonstrate humility and recognize the effectiveness of collective teamwork

Provide team members with ample autonomy to perform their tasks

If I observe a team member feeling demotivated

I closely supervise their tasks to ensure adherence to procedures

I make an extra effort to involve them in team discussions and activities

I give them some space, as they likely require a bit of distance to address their concerns
