In the 2nd of David´s multi-episode series about using the CALM model to become a better leader, he looks at how to identify what your natural leadership style is. Providing you with some exercises you can do to help you to do this. Before explaining how to then use that knowledge to strengthen your existing leadership skills and acquire some of the ones you are currently missing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The CALM model is all about Communication, Accountability, Leadership, and Management.
• Find out whether you are an action-taker, analytical, social, affable, or introverted in a kind of a feeling nurturing type of way. Which you are plays into how you lead.
• There are 3 main leadership styles. You will lean towards one of them but will need to use all 3 depending on the situation or challenge. Use the questions David provides to identify which one you are.
• In a strict rule-following environment an autocratic approach can be good, but it can stifle creativity.
• Fully delegating is another approach that is very empowering for team members. But you still need to monitor and provide support and motivation.

ABOUT THE SHOW

What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
