Choosing a Leadership Style

Let's Begin

To determine the appropriate leadership style to use with an individual on a given project or task, first consider his/her level of competence. Keep in mind that an individual's level of competence can be different for different tasks or projects. Consider the following competency questions:

​

What amount of knowledge and skills does the individual have to apply to the task?​

​

What previous experience does the person have on this or similar projects or tasks?

​

How would you assess this individual's problem solving and analytical skills?

​

How capable is the person at meeting deadlines and working under pressure?
