Leadership test results:

Authoritative

If you tend toward an authoritative leadership style, this means that you often lead your team by offering firm, clear direction as well as useful feedback and meaningful motivation.

As an authoritative leader, you flourish in situations where you are assigned a leadership role due to your experience and expertise. However, it’s important to make sure that your authoritative demeanor doesn’t come off as micro-managing, overbearing, or egocentric.

If your leadership style is mostly authoritative, try some of these suggestions for developing a more holistic style:

• Schedule time for an informal check-in with each member of your team to get a sense of how your leadership style is working for those you manage. The key here is asking for (and remaining open to) feedback.
• An added benefit of informal check-ins with your team is that you begin to become more familiar with the role of each employee. Making an effort to connect with your team and understand what they are working on and where they are succeeding (or struggling) can open you up to a more amenable leadership style.
• f you don’t already have a review system at your organization, speak with HR about the possibility of implementing a quarterly or annual review process. As a more authoritative leader, you can likely benefit from a 360 review process as it codifies a policy of inviting constructive criticism and feedback for employees at all levels of an organization’s hierarchy.

The most important thing to remember is that as a leader, it’s your responsibility to find ways to continually evolve and grow in order to nurture your team on their path to personal and professional development.
