I attended 'The Science of Success' a 'Benchmark for Business' Conference with Daniel Goleman and Malcolm Gladwell today...

Daniel Goldman highlighted the impact of leadership styles on climate. The most important elements are:

• a visionary style which provides long-term direction; and
  
• a coaching style which develops colleagues;

Other elements that make a difference are:

• an affiliative style which creates teamwork and harmony; and
• a democratic style which build commitment through collaboration.

Interesting, but unsurprisingly, some styles have a negative impact:

• a commanding style that demands compliance; and
• a pacesetting style that pushes colleagues to accomplish tasks.

So keep the vision, coach colleagues, think team and share wherever you can.
