Some Selection Criteria In Selecting The Most Appropriate Leadership Style

1. Your Personality (you will tend to gravitate to what feels comfortable, rather than putting up a front)

2. Position of power (your authority over the people you are working with)

3. Group Maturity (depending on the level of dependency, growth and development of the people you are working with)

4. Time allocated for decision-making (the shorter the time allocated, the more an authoritarian style of leadership evolves)

5. Member satisfaction (select style that will keep staff satisfied and motivated)

6. Situational circumstances (each situation is unique and will impact on the leadership style required)
