Did you know that there are seven different leadership styles? They are democratic, autocratic, laissez-faire, transactional, bureaucratic, transformational and servant leadership. The one I focus our discussions around is Transformational Leadership. Transformational Leadership is based on learning and development; your learning and development encourages you to invest in the learning and development of your team’s leadership. There has been a considerable amount of research on leadership skills and values; this season we are going to focus on the 14 leadership values. The 14 values are: Empathy, Resilience, Humility, Passion, Respect, Honesty, Transparency, Integrity, Vision, Commitment, Service, Adaptability, Personal Development and Influence. This episode focuses on Empathy.
A recommended resource for your continued learning is the book Dare to Lead by Dr. Brené Brown. As a Grounded Theory researcher her work flows through narrative. The book is full of valuable information.
