What is your leadership style?
Please take the quiz provided by the attached link to find out about your leadership style. Or reference the three styles below and vote.
Authoritarian leadership, is a leadership style characterized by individual control over all decisions and little input from group members. Autocratic leaders typically make choices based on their own ideas and judgments and rarely accept advice from followers.
Participative leadership, is a type of leadership style in which members of the group take a more participative role in the decision-making process.
Delegative leadership, is a type of leadership style in which leaders are hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions. Researchers have found that this is generally the leadership style that leads to the lowest productivity among group members.

Participative style. I listen to the input of my people but ultimately I have the final say.

At some point someone always has to make a decision. Listening to your subordinates creates a culture of stakeholders that buy into the vision of your organization.

Exactly. I always wanted my guys to have an idea of the big picture and have a sense of ownership.

Participative Leadership style is what it says for me and I would agree. Being in AG, one person cannot know everything in all regulations so it is imperative that I rely on my subordinates to do their jobs and subject matter experts in their respective areas. As the Senior HR Sergeant, it is my job to ensure they are receiving the proper training that enables them to remain SMEs in their areas. In certain situations, I may solicit their opinions on how a process or procedure is working for our shop and if they have suggestions for improvement. But ultimately, I make the decision on if we make the change or not. And there have been times where I have said "this will done my way" because they might not be inn possession of all the facts and it needs to be done a particular way. But I try to explain afterwards (when time permits) so they too will understand and therefore gain knowledge.

Exactly input from other minds is a good thing but when it's all said and done the decision is on your shoulders and yours alone you are the leader

Took the test and totally agree with participative style. Even with my SNCOs semiannual review of me, his comments shows this too.

Inclusion of those around you creates an collaborative environment that will serve you will in the future. However, we still have to make the hard choice in certain situations. Thanks for sharing!

I lead by example... Just like I was lead when I was a PFC... I listen to my subordinates and sometimes I even acknowledge when one of my subordinates gives a good suggestion when practicing battle drills. I don't consider that lack of leadership; on the contrary, I believe that if I give any of my soldiers the chance to develop their leadership I'm sure when they become NCO's they'll do the same to their privates... Fair but sometimes tough. Sometimes they also mess up and the need to be disciplined... Some push ups and flutter kicks do it. And after I discipline them I tell them that I also was in the "E4 Mafia" and I know all the tricks in the book... The ability of a good leader is to motivate, instill confidence, mentor, and most importantly letting them know that the squad leader is also like a dad... A good piece of advise in any other life situation sometimes is even a lifesaver... Listen to your soldiers, and let them know that the sergeant is there for them...

That E4 Mafia can be a power full tool to get the job done. let that PFC try to show what he can do sometimes they have good ideas.
