Leadership is about more than skills—it’s about self-awareness. The DISC framework identifies two leadership styles: natural, which reflects your authentic tendencies, and adaptive, which helps you adjust to different situations. The key to effective leadership is knowing when to lean on each style. Your natural style is your foundation, allowing you to lead with confidence and clarity, while your adaptive style empowers you to respond to change and meet the needs of your team. Recognizing when to switch between the two is crucial, as it ensures you remain both relatable and effective.
Exposed: The Leadership Styles You’re Hiding Behind
Do you lead differently when you’re under pressure compared to when you’re at ease? That’s because you have two leadership styles: natural and adaptive.Relying too much on adaptation can cause stress, while leading only from your natural style might limit how you connect with others. By developing awareness of both, you can lead with greater confidence and flexibility, improving both your performance and team relationships. This dual awareness not only enhances your leadership presence but also fosters trust and engagement within your team. Ultimately, leaders who master both styles are better equipped to drive long-term success, no matter the challenge.
