Are You A Builder Beaver

Let’s have some fun today. Michael The Traveling Trucker compares a beaver with a business leader.

Beavers are one of the few animals that modify their habitat. Are you modifying your business to suit your present situation?

With powerful jaws and strong teeth, they fell trees in order to build homes and dams, often changing their environment in ways few other animals can. With strong words and business savvy you build a business changing your environment to build a lifestyle few can accomplish. In fact, the idioms “busy as a beaver” and “eager beaver” are synonymous with being industrious and hardworking. Does this sound like you?

All beavers need water to survive. They live in or around freshwater ponds, lakes, rivers, marshes and swamps.  Business leaders live on the internet cafe’s or beaches. Anywhere you have a internet connection. They are building their list of like minded business people.

Beavers have a tremendous impact on the eccosystem. Business leaders build businesses that are ecco friendly through a variety of products and services.

Beavers are social animals; they live in colonies and work together. Business leaders are social animals and love to work together making their colony enjoyable to live and work.

Let’s focus on leaders .

Why is it important to know your own leadership style?

As a leader, understanding your leadership style is critically important. When you understand your leadership style, you can determine how this affects those you directly influence.

Leadership comes in many shapes, forms and people. So, let’s put a face to the name of these top seven leadership styles.

Leadership Style #1 Transformational Leader

Often called “blue sky thinkers”, transformational types of leaders are growth minded. They inspire followers through effective communication and create environments of intellectual stimulation and innovation.

Leadership Style #2 Servant Leader

Servant leaders operate in the service of their followers.

This style of leadership focuses on power-sharing models of authority by prioritising the needs of followers and encouraging collective decision-making.

Leadership Style#3 Delegative Leadership

Often referred to as “laissez-faire,” a delegative leadership style focuses on delegating initiative to team members. This is generally known as one of the least intrusive forms of leadership; this translates to “let them do.” This is therefore considered a very hand-off leadership style.

Leadership Style #4 Authoritative Leadership

Authoritative leaders are often referred to as visionary. Leaders who adopt this style consider themselves mentors to their followers. Not to be confused with authoritarian leadership, authoritative leadership emphasizes a “follow me” approach. This way, leaders chart a course and encourage those around them to follow.

Leadership Style #5 Participative Leadership

Sometimes referred to as democratic leadership, participative leadership is a leadership style that encourages leaders to listen to their employees and involve them in the decision-making process. This leadership style requires leaders to be inclusive, utilize good communication skills, and, crucially, be able to share power/responsibility.

Whatever you choose, be open and honest. Be the best you can be so you can help others effectly with love. What kind of leader would I be without some of my own style. Click Here for the #1 Business Model for 2023.
