In this blog I will specify my leadership style, discuss how
I do it, its merits and disadvantages. My leadership style is participative
leadership. I always include my team members to come up with solutions. I
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these solutions. Based on the
discussion I will take the decision. The final decision always lie with me.
With the participative decision team members feel ownership
and will be more motivated to work as it is their decision. Moreover they
deliver it with my minimal supervision. With this style I will be easily
approachable to the team and they can walk in anytime with questions or issues.
One of the disadvantages with this participative leadership
style is time consuming. In most of the situations I know the solution for a
problem which we are discussing, but instead of telling them what to do, I ask
them their options, put leading questions and finally tell them what do to.
This is somewhat similar to coaching, but not exactly same.
