But others tend to be overwhelmed by the demands for excellence of such a leader, and annoyed by his/her tendency to take charge of any situation. ● The Formative style: this style focuses more on personal development than on strictly work-related tasks. It works well when employees are already aware of their weaknesses and want to improve, but not when they are reluctant to change their habits. Each of them is derived from different emotional intelligence competencies, works better in specific situations, and affects the organization's environment in different ways. Being able to choose between different styles when circumstances require it creates the best environment in an organization and optimizes business performance. The more styles a leader masters, the better. What are the skills of a leader? Every leader should develop certain skills that can help him/her lead a team, either in person or in virtual environments. Leadership skills are qualities that allow people to make better decisions within a framework of responsibility, allocate available resources more efficiently, plan wisely, and manage people from motivation, enthusiasm and commitment. These capacities do not have to do with the different types of leadership, but with the personal qualities of the person who is in charge of guiding others within a team. ● Knowing how to delegate: For some managers, delegating is a synonym of losing control over the project and that is why they end up performing many tasks that do not correspond to them. If we accompany the delegation process with a reporting system of tasks and objectives, the feeling of loss of control will disappear and the manager will be aware of all the progress in the project. ● Ability to coordinate and collaborate: Coordination and collaboration help to avoid work overlaps, align efforts in the right direction, identify problems more quickly, and find the best solutions for them.
