You're a transactional leader

You expect hard work from your team members, and you reward them generously when they meet your expectations.

You create a sense of fairness and are clear about goals.

However, this can be an obstacle to building close relationships with your team, and you could be stifling creativity.

Get more from your team by being more flexible, and giving them the opportunity to set their own goals.

You're a situational leader

You are agile and quick to make decisions, bringing your team along with you. You adapt your leadership to best suit your team and the problem at hand.

You love a challenge, and you encourage your team to think outside the box and try new things.

However, being so focused on the here and now could be stopping you from achieving long term goals with your team, and stunting your team's personal development.

Keep your flexible side, but remember to take time to consider the best interests of your team too.

You're an autocratic leader

You take the reigns and drive your team forward as the clear leader. The leadership chain is clear, as are expectations for your team members.

You're highly skilled at supporting inexperienced team members, showing them the ropes and pushing them forwards. Your confident leadership style allows for decisions to be made quickly.

However, you leave no room for flexibility, or for your team to make mistakes to learn from.

Try to give your team more of a voice, and act as a supporting role to their success.

You're a laissez-faire leader

Being in your team is fun. You're not a regular boss, you're a cool boss.

Your team have the space and flexibility to experiment and carve out opportunities for themselves. Nobody could ever accuse you of being a micro-manager.

However, sometimes teams need your guidance and support as a leader.

Try to establish clear goals and boundaries whilst maintaining that flexibility and watch your team thrive.

You're a participative leader

You like to get stuck in and act as 'one of the team' rather than the person in charge.

Companies like Amazon have seen this work well, and break barriers between employees and their bosses for improved productivity.

However, this could lead to longer lead times and decision-making processes as everyone gets a say. It also makes it harder for people to move up the ranks.

Take a step back and support from the sidelines. Allow your team's talents to shine, whilst you use your strengths as a leader to guide them through.
