• A leader can be anyone on the team who has a particular
talent, who is creatively thinking out of the box and has
a great idea, who has experience in a certain aspect of
the business or project that can prove useful.
• A leader leads based on strengths, not titles.
• Are good leaders born, or can leadership be taught?

Leadershipstyles A leadership style encompasses how a person
provides direction, implements a plan, or motivates
others. To achieve their goals, effective leaders often
switch styles to suit the situation.
Participative: seeks to involve other people;
Situational: changes leadership style according to
situational factors;
Transactional: works through hierarchical
structures and systems of reward;
Transformational: leads through inspiration,
sharing energy and enthusiasm;
Servant: serves others rather than being served;
Democratic: builds consensus through
participation;
Leadershipstyles
Essentially…
… if you take two cups of participative
leadership, one cup of democratic, situational,
and transactional leadership, and a dash of
transformational and servant leadership "to
taste," and you lead based on need in a way that
elevates and inspires your team, you’ve got an
excellent recipe for long-term leadership success
with every team in your life.

“None of us is as smart as all of us.” – Ken Blanchard
 What is a team?
 A group of people with a full set of complementary skills
required to complete a task, job or project.
 Teamwork is therefore nothing other then a commitment
shared between the working process of the team and its goal.
NOTE: A team can be a group of individuals but a group can
never ne a team.
