A new, enjoyable activity where the differences in leadership style can be compared and evaluated.
To prepare for this activity, each team nominates a leader who receives details of a particular leadership style to adopt. While your leader thinks about his or her style you, and the rest of your team, decide on the qualities of an effective leader.
The nominated leaders study their given style and receive resources and instructions for the task they have to lead their team in - a fairly straightforward, practical one. The leaders then brief their teams in their allocated leadership style.
After the short task is over, teams review what happened. Did they complete the task successfully? How would they rate the leader’s style of leadership? Teams will compare experiences and draw out key points about leadership styles and their relative effectiveness. Full Trainer’s Notes give guidance.

Steve Laing, QC TrainingGreat exercise; all participants absolutely adored this activity!
R. Street, Independent Consultant
I used Leadership Style with three teams each of five participants and each having a leader with a different style. The results were slightly unexpected and led to a great debate on the difference between leaders and managers. Great feedback from participants about the usefulness of the sesson. At last an activity to show leadership in action!
