In our research, we’ve identified six styles of leadership that managers and executives use to motivate, reward, direct and develop others. They include:
- Directive, which entails strong, sometimes coercive behavior
- Visionary, which focuses on clarity and communication
- Affiliative, which emphasizes harmony and relationships
- Participative, which is collaborative and democratic
- Pace-setting, which is characterized by personal heroics
- Coaching, which focuses on long term development and mentoring
The most effective leaders are adept at all six leadership styles and use each when appropriate. Typically, however, a manager defaults to the styles he or she is most comfortable using, a preference that reflects the person’s dominant motive combined with the level of pressure in the workplace. People motivated mainly by achievement tend to favor pace-setting in low-pressure situations, but to become directive when the pressure is on.
