The Chameleon-Leader: Using Style to Resonate with Every Team Member and Build Deep Trust, Respect, and Alignment
OVERVIEW
Athletic coaches provide examples of the
entire range of leadership styles. Consider Vince Lombardi, who led the Green
Bay Packers to two Super Bowl wins. Lombardi is famous for saying,
“Winning
isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.”
Compare
his competitive, no-nonsense style with the animated style of Tommy Lasorda.
After winning two World Series titles with the
LA Dodgers in the 1980s, Lasorda came out of retirement to lead the 2000 US
Olympic baseball team to a gold medal. If called upon to imagine Lasorda,
sports fans are likely to picture him gesturing rapidly as he stirs up team
spirit.
But fans are unlikely to picture Phil Jackson
gesturing such an animated way. They are more likely to imagine Jackson drawing
and studying detailed diagrams while keeping his emotions out of view. Yet the
comparatively reserved Jackson, who recently led the LA Lakers to three NBA
titles after coaching the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships, is every bit
as successful as Lasorda. Finally, considered Joe Torre in action. Rather than
picturing Torre poring over diagrams, fans are more likely to imagine him
offering a team member a reassuring word or a pat on the arm.
While Torre’s style is different from
Lombardi’s, Jackson’s or Lasorda’s, it is just as effective. After all, Torre
has led the New York Yankees to four World Series wins.
Four
team leaders, four different leadership styles.
Is one
way better than the others?
What
are your leadership and influence skills, and how do you know to flex to other
leadership styles to best reach your team members in their style?
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Studies of personality style date back at
least as far as 1914 when Swiss psychologist. Carl Jung first published his
famous study, Psychological Types. Since then, many other researchers have
examined style (e.g., Bolton & Bolton, 1984, and Merril & Reid, 1981).
They agree on one point: While each individual is unique, certain commonalities
can be used to describe and assess everyone’s personality style.
In fact, many researchers describe the style
in terms of two dimensions, although the choice of dimensions tends to vary
from one researcher to another.
The dimensions used throughout are
assertiveness and expressiveness (Alessandra and Hunsaker, 1980). Assertiveness
measures the degree to which a person tries to influence other people’s
thoughts and actions. Expressiveness measures the degree to which a person displays
his or her emotions when interacting with others.
