By Tracey Maurer What kind of leader were you in 2020? Now, what kind of leader did you become in 2021? No matter your leadership style or tenure, navigating a history-making global health crisis promoted many a soul-searching moment for even the most confident leaders. As hybrid and remote work models assert their longevity, leaders are facing a post-crisis world in which very new norms, processes, and expectations are here to stay. Will there be challenges? Of course. But at the same time, the opportunities are limitless, especially for leaders who dedicate themselves to meeting the moment by adding 2022-specific leadership strategies to their toolkit. Develop Leadership Style Self-Awareness — and AgilityDavid Jones, professor of management at the University of Vermont Grossman School of Business, identifies five styles drawn from leadership theory and research that he believes are important for all leaders to have in their repertoire. With these five leadership styles at your disposal, you’ll be prepared to situationally calibrate your approach, building trust and credibility with your team.
Even if you identify with just one or two styles, you can learn from – and apply – other styles, Jones says. UVM’s Center for Leadership and Innovation is a good place to start. For every situation – whether it’s communicating with an employee about poor job performance, inspiring a highly experienced team to achieve, or guiding your organization through uncertain times – there are specific leadership styles and corresponding tools you can use to accomplish your objectives. Broadening your range and developing greater agility are meaningful goals for any leader. In a 2020 Forbes piece on leadership skill-shifts, Melissa Daimler writes about emotional awareness versus emotional agility. Awareness, she notes, is “the ability to be aware of and control your own emotions,” while calling on leaders to go a step further toward agility. With emotional agility, she says, a leader “is not only aware of their feelings, they know how to navigate through them,” citing the work of psychologist Susan David.
