There are different leadership styles, each of which can be appropriate and effective in different situations. Most of us, if we find ourselves in a leadership role, have a preference for a particular style. This questionnaire is designed to help you think about your preferences. Please read each statement and tick the appropriate box, indicating what you think is true for you.
Leadership is exercised in different ways by different people in different situations. The following are examples of different leadership styles. None is the ‘right’ way; each has their strengths and weaknesses, and each would be ‘right’ for certain people at certain times:
- Authoritative
- Democratic
- Facilitative
- Situational
