Applying Your Leadership Style
Four questions to make you and your leaders more
effective.
Bill Hybels
January 1, 1998
After reading "Finding Your Leadership Style,"
ask yourself the following questions. For maximum impact, have your key lay
leaders or staff also read the article and answer these questions for themselves.
Then meet as a group to discuss your answers. 1. What are my dominant leadership styles?
Each person in the group should list his or her key styles and ask, "How
accurate was I in this self-assessment?" It's as important to know what
leadership styles you don't have as it is to realize what styles you lead
from naturally. 2. How well does my leadership style fit my situation?
If you're an entrepreneurial leader in a hundred-year-old church that
never wants to start something new, or if you're a managing leader but your
organization is dying for vision, you'll be a frustrated leader. 3. What leadership styles are lacking on our team?
Even great teams have weak spots. By answering this question, you can decide
who needs to be the next hire, consultant, or guest contributor. 4. How can I not only develop my strengths, but also grow where I'm
weak?
Reality means we all have to perform leadership tasks that fall outside of
our sweet spot. Growth includes becoming moderately proficient in these areas.
