6 Managerial Styles You Need to Lead Effectively

Far too many managers are “one-trick-ponies.” Early in their careers they had success with one management style and now use it regardless of the situation. The result: They fail to get the most out of their team because they simply lack the skills necessary to handle the complexities of managing people.

The best managers realize that to be truly effective they need to deploy a variety of management styles depending on who they're dealing with and what they're trying to accomplish. They know that a "one size fits all" approach to leadership just doesn't work.

1. Command and Control
2. Relating
3. Democratic
4. Goal-setting
5. Hands-on
6. Coaching

The Great Managers correctly deploy the right style depending on the situation.
