Leadership vs Leadership Styles: Which one is the Best? | By Dr Emmanuel Eni Amadi PhD, MBA, MSc, PGDip, B.Pharm.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to which leadership style is the best, as different styles can be effective in different situations and contexts. Here are some examples of prominent leaders and their leadership styles:

1. Boris Johnson - Autocratic Leadership:

Johnson has been described as an autocratic leader, meaning that he likes to make decisions independently and without input from others. This style can be effective in crisis situations where quick, decisive action is needed.

2. Nelson Mandela - Transformational Leadership:

Mandela is hailed for his transformational approach to leadership, which is characterized by a clear vision, strong communication skills, and a focus on inspiring and empowering others. This style can be effective in bringing about significant change or leading a social movement.

3. Barack Obama - Democratic Leadership:

Obama has been praised for his democratic style of leadership, which involves soliciting input from others and building consensus through collaboration and communication. This style can be effective in promoting teamwork and fostering a sense of ownership and buy-in among team members.

4. Donald Trump - Laissez-Faire Leadership:

Trump's leadership style has been described as laissez-faire, which means he grants a lot of autonomy to his employees and does not micromanage. This style can be effective in situations where employees are highly skilled and motivated, but can also lead to chaos and lack of direction.

5. Jeff Bezos - Visionary Leadership:

Bezos is known for his visionary leadership style, which involves setting ambitious goals and inspiring others to work towards them. This style can be effective in driving innovation and growth in a company.

At Amadi Global Leadership Academy | Executive Education, we believe that the effectiveness of a leader's style depends on many factors, including the context they are operating and the needs of their team or organization. It is like a jigsaw puzzle. The ability to switch from one leadership style to fit the current demand and get the required result is what differentiates great leadership from the norm.
