Leadership Styles Generally speaking there are 6 Leadership Styles that leaders can apply with teams. When leading virtual teams, especially during a crisis, we have to decide what makes sense for that moment in time:
Authoritative/Visionary Leadership inspires people by focusing on long-term goals. An effective visionary leader listens to the values held by the individuals within the group, and thus can explain his or her overall goals for the organization in a way that wins their support.
Use this style when organization/company seems to be drifting. Authoritative leadership is most effective in vision casting and when providing clarity for the vision.
Affiliative describes leadership that creates a warm, people-focused working atmosphere. An Affiliative leader listens to discover peoples' emotional needs, and strives to honor and accommodate those needs in the workplace.
Pace-Setting Leadership sets ambitious goals and continually monitors progress towards those goals.
When a business or department is in need of quick results from a group that is already highly motivated and competent. This means the motivation that is driving the leader must also exist among the team.
Coaching Leadership helps people assume responsibility that leads to the organization's success. An effective coaching leader listens carefully to others, establishes personal rapport and trust, and helps their people find out how their performance matters and where they can find additional information and resources.
