During a recent monthly coaching session, Coach Srikanth shared 3 leadership styles:
- David Goleman’s Six Leadership Styles (Commanding, Visionary, Affiliate, Democratic, Pacesetting, and Coaching)
- Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership – SLII (Delegating, Supporting, Coaching, and Directing)
- Tannebaum-Schdmits’ leadership continuum (Tells, Sells, Suggests, Consults, Joins, Delegates, Abdicates)
I read Ken Blanchard’s book – Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager, recommended by Coach Srikanth, and it resonated a lot with me. I have been a D1, D2, and D3 many times during my career. Whenever I was at D2 which is the phase once the beginner’s enthusiasm has waned, asking for and getting support would have helped tremendously.
