Your leadership style is shaped by more than just training—it’s rooted in your personality. Research shows transformational leaders, who inspire and connect with others, are the most effective. Traits like extraversion and conscientiousness play a key role in leadership success, while transactional and laissez-faire styles often fall short. Great leaders align their style with their team’s needs and lead with self-awareness.
Some key takeaways include:
- Transformational leaders inspire, mentor, and build trust
- Transactional leaders focus on control and results
- Laissez-faire leaders disengage until issues arise
- Extraversion is the top trait linked to strong leadership
- Self-aware leaders adapt their style to fit the situation
