TO HELP YOU PASS YOUR MANAGEMENT OR LEADERSHIP INTERVIEW, I WILL COVER 3 THINGS DURING THIS TUTORIAL:
#1. I will explain why the interviewer is asking you the question, what’s your leadership style?
#2. I will tell you the 7 different leadership styles and you can then decide which one is most suited to you.
#3. I will then give you a brilliant scripted answer to the question, what’s your leadership style, that is guaranteed to impress any interview panel!

WHY IS THE INTERVIEWER IS ASKING YOU THE QUESTION, WHAT’S YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE?
This question always gets asked during management and leadership interviews because the employer wants to know whether or not your leadership style is going to be suited to the team you are going to be leading, and their organization as a whole.

For example, if their organization is dynamic and forward-thinking but your leadership style is LAISSEZ-FAIRE (i.e. laid back) they won’t hire you!

Let me now tell you the 7 different leadership styles and you can decide which one is most suited to you. Tell me in the comments section below which leadership style you have.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #1. Autocratic. 01:58
An autocratic style of leadership is one where the leader controls all the decisions and takes little or no input from team members. This style of leadership is often used in the military and the emergency services such as the Fire Service or Police. Sometimes, this style of leadership is referred to as AUTHORITARIAN.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #2. Affiliative. 02:25
Affiliative leaders encourage their teams to work in harmony. They seek to quickly solve conflict and they will promote a happy and positive working environment. Affiliative leadership is great in organizations where team members have to work very closely together and support each other to complete tasks.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #3. Coaching. 02:52
A coaching leadership style is one that encourages people to continually improve and, ultimately, reach peak performance. Often, a coaching style of leadership will work on mindset and team behaviors, and they are well suited to organizations where a culture of empowerment and fulfillment are the priority.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #4. Democratic. 03:21
A democratic leadership style is one that encourages team members to become actively involved in the decision-making process. A democratic leader will often ask their team members for their opinions before making decisions.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #5. Laissez-Faire. 03:40
A laissez-faire leadership style is one that allows team members to get on with tasks with little supervision or monitoring. A laissez-faire style leader places full trust in his or her team members and they only get involved when absolutely necessary.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #6. Pacesetting. 04:02
A pacesetting leader value results more than anything else! They set the pace and they expect people to follow. This leadership style can be often found in high-pressure work environments where managers and leaders are expected to achieve difficult targets.

LEADERSHIP STYLE #7. Transformational. 04:28
Transformational leaders inspire people and they encourage their teams to embrace changes that often allow the organization to maintain its position as a market leader. Transformational leaders are usually energetic people who are driven to succeed.

Your videos have been an absolute lifesaver for me. The way you explain complex topics makes everything so much clearer, and I can't thank you enough for that. Whenever I'm stuck on something, I know I can count on your videos to help me out. You're making a real difference in the lives of so many people, including mine. I want advice on the interview question "What is your work style?" I have drafted this – I have an organized, collaborative, and results-driven work style. I emphasize attention to detail, effective communication, and adaptability. I thrive in both independent and team-oriented environments, always aiming to deliver high-quality work within deadlines.

I was asked this question sometimes back.. I only described one of the styles very shallowly. I wish I had seen this then.. Nonetheless this helps greatly. Thanks

I found what works for me. But that scripted part I disagree with. The purpose of a leadership style which can also be one's management style is to actually incorporate it along with the rest of your skill set in a work environment and during real life situations. You can't script real life.

What about an empathetic style of leadership following up on the heels of Covid and younger generation?

TIP 1. Give clear and decisive answers
For work-style questions, avoid appearing uncertain. Where appropriate, choose responses such as “Strongly Agree” or “Strongly Disagree” when they genuinely reflect the qualities Walmart is assessing.

TIP 2. Be consistent throughout the test
Similar questions may appear several times but be worded differently. Keep your answers consistent and demonstrate that you are a reliable, honest, flexible, hardworking, and customer-focused employee.

TIP 3. Put the customer first
In customer-service scenarios, choose responses that show you will acknowledge the customer quickly, listen carefully, remain professional, and take appropriate action to resolve their needs.

TIP 4. Prioritize safety and follow procedures
Never choose shortcuts that could compromise the safety of customers or coworkers. Correct answers demonstrate that you will follow procedures, identify hazards, and ask for guidance when necessary.

TIP 5. Demonstrate teamwork and flexibility
Show that you are willing to support coworkers, adapt to changing situations, take on reasonable tasks, and help the team during busy periods while still completing your own responsibilities.
