Depending upon the situation, understanding different leadership styles will help teams manage projects efficiently. Here at TeamBonding, we emphasize leadership styles as an important aspect of running any successful business. We recently partnered with the Belbin program.
This program is a self-assessment that your employees take that asks them to evaluate themselves as leaders, followed by three to four observers who give their perspectives. Ultimately, your employees will receive a full report from Belbin detailing their individual results. This program is an insightful way in which you can not only have a discussion within your own organization about leadership, but it will also help you work better as a team!
Belbin Leadership style archetypes can be seen demonstrated within various organizations including the New England Patriots.
“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal which is worthwhile.”- Vincent Lombardi
