The New Leadership Paradigm

“...here are in my mind four acceptable styles of leadership and in the perfect situation you need to know which style you're using and why…one is directive style. Another is a persuasive or selling style. The third is a collaborative (style). And the fourth is a delegation style. And for the most evolved subordinates and teams you're primarily going to work between a participative and a delegation style.”

“...we're a company that's very keen on making sure that we give people the information that they need to do their jobs. And one of our leadership styles, the cultural style in the company is very much -- as opposed to need to know, it's give them the information and trust that they will (a) protect it wisely and (b) use it wisely.”
