The cost of driven team leadership styles
In Leadership Run Amok: The Destructive potential of Overachievers in the July 2006 Harvard Business Review the authors argue that by only focusing on tasks and goals, a leader can actually damage performance.

The authors interviewed 21 senior managers at IBM and concluded that leaders achieve the best results if they use a cocktail of leadership styles – each chosen for the particular circumstances at hand.
The key styles are:
- Directive – strong sometimes coercive
- Visionary – clarity and communications
- Affiliative – harmony and relationships
- Participative – collaborative and democratic
- Pacesetting – personal heroics
- Coaching – long-term development and mentoring
What is your dominant leadership style?
Do you just have one style or do you have access to a portfolio of styles you can draw on as the situation demands?
