Some leaders are conquerors by nature- business builders, mavericks, quick to make decisions and a lot of them. Some are more rulers by nature – consensus builders, good at building alignment across branches, bringing people together. Every great leader needs a bit of both, or at least the ability to flex to the other style. Slow down and think about where you are on this spectrum and where your team needs more or less.
And if you’ve got a transition of power coming in the next 5 years or less, time to plan and prepare for what kind of leader is needed in the next expression of the team/company. What will the business need in the next gen of leadership? More of a conqueror or more of a ruler? Why? Get writing and get clear.
