Hello everyone,

In the latest episode of our podcast, "Lead & SUCCEED: Startup Edition", we addressed a question that has sparked many discussions and debates - What is the best leadership style?

As startup leaders, we often have to learn leadership on the fly, navigating through unpredictable scenarios, and shaping our style as we go. In our segment "Leadership Question of the Day", we aim to provide bite-sized leadership education to help startup leaders like you to kick-start their day.

Today's question about the best leadership style isn't as simple as it sounds. One might expect a straightforward answer, a definite style that one could learn and emulate. But in reality, the best leadership style isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It's personal. 

The best leadership style for you is the one that aligns with your personality and allows you to effectively develop your people. The key here is to lead in a way that feels authentic to you while being focused on the growth and development of your team. And this focus on people development comes with a basic rule: You can't be a negative influence. To be an effective leader, respect, empathy, and positivity should be your guiding principles.

So, the best leadership style? It's one that's authentic, focused on people development, and respectful. 

We hope you found this episode insightful. We look forward to addressing more leadership questions in our upcoming episodes.
