Think of us as your Leadership Doctors.
We’re here to make sure your Company’s health is top notch, and that starts with a simple diagnosis.
Have you ever noticed the differences in how people lead? Think about it.
We’ve all had those leaders, whether that be in a sixth grade project or in our daily business lives, who we feel do a better job at leading us to success than any other bosses we may have had in the past. You’ve may have noticed this before, but have you really taken the time to sit down and think about what it is specifically that makes them so much better than all the others? Chances are, your affinity to that specific boss has to do a lot with what kind of leadership style they use.
While it’s true that you can never be sure that one leadership style will suit everyone (there are so many different kinds of people in this world after all), you can judge which would work more ef-fectively by considering your audience, what you plan to achieve, and your own personality as well.
So, the big question is, which leadership style suits you more?

Mostly A’s: Reactive Leader
Reactive leadership often happens naturally in work environments as a way to “put out fires” on the spot. However, with this leadership style comes increased stress in the workplace, de-greased productivity, disorder and a negative way of thinking. No one likes seeing their leader scramble to come up with solutions once they have presented themselves. Instead, be proactive about anticipating these areas of opportunity before they become a much larger problem.
Mostly B’s: Pro-active Leader
A proactive leader does a wonderful job at creating a stress free environment by anticipating possible ways to advance the company before a problem occurs with an area of issue. You don’t try to solve problems on the spot but instead react to the problem before the situation even oc-curs. You adapt to change faster which makes you a stronger team and business overall.
The truth is, there is a time and place for each leadership style. However, don’t be afraid to flex your Proactive leadership muscles just because you are afraid that you’ll constantly have to save the day. You’d be amazed at how much work gets done and how many amazing ideas are turned into realities when you work proactively!
