Leadership is a nebulous topic. It’s an even more precarious practice. Why?

Well, it’s one thing to talk about leadership and different leadership styles, but it’s a completely different and other thing to practice leadership in the real world as you are surrounded by pulls and shoves of various natures.

What does it take to be a good leader? A good leader must be self-aware. You must be able to assess yourself and the qualities that make you a strong leader, as well as the qualities that are working against you and are an overall detriment to your ability to effectively lead.

In such a self-assessment, you ought to take a look at your style in comparison to the 5  styles listed out in today’s article. Are you a micro-manager? If so, there is no quicker way to have a disgruntled group around you than to constantly be looking over their shoulders at what they are doing.
