The $1m question - "What kind of leader do you want to be?"

Three things to consider  

• How you like to make decisions
• The reputation you want as a leader
• Why you want people follow you 

Why this is so important

Your leadership strategy is based on your leadership aspiration. 

How do you like to make decisions?

There are 3 types of leaders - autocratic, democratic & bureaucratic. Key point - there's no right or wrong answer. Any of these styles can be successful. 

• A little bit of input (autocratic) 
• A lot of input (democratic)
• Clear policy to follow (bureaucratic) 

What reputation would you like?

• Tough but fair
• Coach/teacher 
• Fixer/problem solver
• Innovator/transformer 

Why do you want people to follow you?  

• Trust - they believe in what you say 
• Compassion - they think you have their best interest at heart 
• Stability - you're consistent and fair 
• Hope - you make them optimistic
