What types of leadership, what leadership profiles?

When we talk about types of leadership, we highlight the fact that there are different profiles of leaders.

Here they are.

  1. The executive leader.

This is the only profile that is not found in the concept of leadership management: He gives his instructions and has them applied without worrying about what the members of his team think or feel.

Communication is absent and therefore, it deprives the company of the wealth of exchanges and ideas of the team.

The executive leader considers that he is above and that all the others are below him. He uses his posture as an all-powerful leader to get total obedience from others and does not tolerate opposition.

  1. The collaborative leader.

In contrast to the directive leader, we have the collaborative leader. His approach is inclusive and he asks employees to participate.

It values the creativity, skills and qualities of each individual by using them in teamwork.

  1. The visionary leader

As for the visionary leader, he brings the team together around himself, his vision and the goals he pursues.

It has a strong persuasive potential. There is no need to coerce others to join, his talent is natural.

This type of leadership, when combined with a transformational approach, can have a powerful impact on team dynamics.

  1. The leading leader

The leading leader is the one who leads by example. Her skills and her commitment to a job well done are her strengths.

He has experience and is an expert in many fields.

He too has natural authority and does not need to coerce to be heard. The employees follow it and listen to it willingly themselves.

  1. The leader coach

Finally, the leader coach is the potential booster. He is the scout who allows each member of a team to discover and develop their talents.

He is an expert in identifying weaknesses and providing effective transformation keys.

Develop leadership management with coaching

In leadership management, you must be a collaborative, visionary, leader and coach at the same time!

With this concept and the changing business world, the executive leader has less and less place. Indeed, we seek to get people involved and federate over the long term.

Directive leadership is often counterproductive because it has a tendency to disengage and demotivate. On the other hand, other leaderships have the power to motivate, retain and really manage to improve performance.

While some people have natural leadership qualities, others need to develop them.

In this case, the professional coaching is a great solution.
