Develop your own leadership style
How it works
Leadership style dictates business culture, affects how your team responds, and motivates them to increase performance and revenue. It could be the difference between business success and business failure. But there is no single style of leadership. It takes self-awareness and frank appraisal of strengths and weaknesses to become a powerful and authentic leader.Â
In this program, you will learn how to identify your leadership style and strengths, turn weaknesses into strengths, stepping outside your comfort zone, and reflecting on your leadership style. Â
Organizations with these exacting standards of leadership tend to be strong in areas like creativity, productivity, performance, financial management, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability. This helps create an organization with increased customer retention, revenue growth and substantial cost savings. Â

Our five-step plan to developing
your own leadership style
- Identifying your default leadership style
To improve your leadership style and skills we first need to identify your default style before establishing your preferred style of leadership. Do you lead from the front? Do you seek the approval of others? Do you have a clear vision? What are your stress triggers? How do you behave in a crisis?Central to finding your own style is your ability to adopt and adapt different leadership styles and make them work for you. Authenticity also plays a huge part in defining your leadership style. If you feel confident in your leadership style, you will be acting authentically.
- Identify strengths
We’ll work with you to identify and develop your strengths. Knowing what you’re good at and playing to those strengths is important. You might not even realise what some of those key strengths are as you’ve always done them. We can help you identify and develop these strengths. - Turning weaknesses into strengths
A weakness is just a strength you haven’t yet developed. We can help you to develop your weaknesses into strengths. Some of them won’t feel natural but together we’ll find a way to use them that feels right to you. - Step outside your leadership comfort zone
Whether at work or at home, being open to new experiences and challenges will help you to develop your leadership style and skills. Stepping outside your comfort zone fosters resilience and adaptability, both of these are essential for developing your own leadership style. - Reflecting on your leadership style
Embedding a new leadership style takes time. It’s important to seek feedback when you’re developing a leadership style – that includes both the good and the bad. Learn from the feedback, don’t take it personally. As the adage states; ‘it’s a marathon not a sprint’.
How leadership style development can
optimise peak business performance
Creating and embedding the correct leadership style is greater than the individual. We will work in partnership with your organisation to make sure its leadership objectives are met, and then we will work with you to make sure these are embedded into your organisation creating self-sustaining change.
This may mean developing a set of bespoke leadership objectives, or adopting the right leadership models for the performance drivers and organisational needs you have. We’ll identify personal and corporate needs using psychological assessments and in some cases use these to track progress towards objectives.
In addition, we use a whole range of methods to help each participant discover and develop their own unique leadership capabilities. We’ll help you reach your peak performance potential to achieve what you want as an organisation.
We’ll deliver assessments, planning and intervention through face-to-face workshops, e-tools, and one-to-one interviews and coaching, depending on what your organisation needs.
