Crack the Code: Your 101 Guide to Recognising Different Leadership Styles

Have you – or someone you know - ever left a workplace not because of the job but because the clinic owner, head nurse or lead vet, let toxic behaviour persist?  

If so, you’ll “get” first hand how different leadership styles impact how individuals interact with their team members, how conflicts are resolved (or not), and ultimately how clinic culture is impacted.  

By recognising and understanding different leadership styles, you can improve your communication, team dynamics, conflict resolution, and personal development within your clinic’s team.  

That’s what we’re looking at today in this new 101 series on Leadership Styles.

Recognising different leadership styles at your clinic is important for several reasons:

1. effective communication
2. team dynamics
3. conflict resolution
4. personal growth

Different Leadership Styles

Today we're looking at the first three Leadership Styles:

1. Autocratic or authoritarian leadership
2. Democratic or participative leadership
3. Laissez-faire or delegative leadership
4. Transactional leadership
5. Transformational leadership
6. Servant leadership
7. Charismatic leadership
8. Situational leadership
9. Coaching leadership
10. Authentic leadership

For each style we cover:

• what the style looks like from the outside
• what it looks like on the inside
• when it's effective and when it isn't
