5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

6
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>It's episode two oh three, and today we're diving into

7
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the future of leadership. The workplace is evolving rapidly, and

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>so are the styles of leadership that make an impact.

9
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>In this episode, we'll explore five leadership styles that are

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>thriving in twenty twenty five and beyond, why they're effective,

11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and how you can adopt elements of each to enhance

12
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 2>your leadership approach. So let's start with a big picture.

13
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Why do leadership styles matter? Why should we care about

14
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>how they're evolving?

15
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>So?

16
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 2>The workplace has changed dramatically over the past decade, with

17
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 2>remote work, diverse teams, and rapid technological advancements becoming the norm.

18
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Employees today expect leaders who are empathetic, adaptable, and forward thinking.

19
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>The old command and control approach simply just doesn't work anymore.

20
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Leadership styles are like tools in a toolbox. Different situations

21
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 2>require different approaches. By understanding and adopting these emerging styles

22
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>you can build stronger teams, drive better results, and stay

23
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>relevant in our changing world. So let's break down the

24
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>five leadership styles that are shaping the future. And number

25
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>one is servant leadership and we've talked about this before.

26
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Putting the needs of your team first and helping them

27
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>develop and perform to their full potential. Employees value leaders

28
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>who prioritize their well being and growth. Servant leadership foster's

29
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>trust loyalty in a positive work environment. So how do

30
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you apply this style? So regularly ask your team what

31
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>can I do to support you? Focus on removing obstacles

32
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 2>and providing resources to help them succeed. Number two is

33
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>transformational leadership, inspiring and motivating your team to innovate and

34
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>achieve more than they thought possible. Because in our rapidly

35
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>changing world, teams need leaders who can drive change and

36
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>encourage creativity. So how do you apply this one? Share

37
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>like a compelling vision of the future and encourage your

38
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>team to think big, recognize, and reward innovative ideas even

39
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>if they don't always succeed. Number three is adaptive leadership,

40
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the ability to pivot quickly and respond to changing circumstances.

41
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Because with uncertainty being a constant today, Adaptive leaders can

42
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>guide their teams through challenges with agility and confidence. So

43
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>how do you apply this one Well, Stay informed about

44
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 2>industry trends and be willing to adjust strategies as needed.

45
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Involve your team in problem solving to ensure diverse perspectives.

46
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Number four is empathetic leadership, leading with emotional intelligence and

47
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>understanding your team's emotions and motivations and challenges because empathy

48
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>builds trust and connection, which are essential for team cohesion

49
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and productivity. So how do you apply this one? Practice

50
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>active listening, validate your team's feelings, and show genuine concern

51
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>for their well being. And the fifth and final one

52
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>is data driven leadership, using metrics, analytics, and evidence based

53
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>decision making to guide your leadership. Because as data becomes

54
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>increasingly available, leaders who can leverage it effectively can make

55
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>more informed decisions and measure their impact. So how do

56
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 2>you use this style Well, incorporate data into regular team reviews,

57
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>use it to identify opportunities for improvement. Combine data with

58
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>human insights for a balanced decision making. So now that

59
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>we've covered the five key leadership styles, how do you

60
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>figure out which one best works for you. So here's

61
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the thing. Great leaders aren't locked into one style. The

62
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>most effective leaders adapt their approach based on the needs

63
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of their team in the situation. You have to start

64
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>by reflecting on your strengths and areas for growth. Ask

65
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>your team for feedback. It's one of the best ways

66
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 2>to understand how your leadership is perceived. And remember, you

67
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>don't have to master all five styles at once. Pick

68
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>one or two that resonate with you, and start practicing

69
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>them intentionally. So let me just share a couple real

70
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>world examples of all of this. First, there's a co

71
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>company in eastern Pennsylvania, Colt Airs in USA, who embodies

72
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>transformational leadership by sharing a bold vision for sustainability. Their

73
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>building is insulated with hay and they have a garden

74
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that they harvest hundreds of pounds of vegetables that they

75
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>use and donate to the community. They've inspired their team

76
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to develop groundbreaking sustainability solutions that are reshaping their industrial

77
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>manufacturing industry. And then think of all the managers and

78
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>leaders who mastered empathetic leadership during the pandemic. They supported

79
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>their remote teams by offering flexible schedules and mental health resources,

80
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>resulting in higher engagement and retention for their companies. These

81
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>leaders all didn't stick to a one size fits all approach.

82
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>They adapted their styles to meet the moment. So here's

83
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>my challenge for you over the next week. Identify which

84
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>of these five styles could have the biggest impact on

85
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>your team. Start small, maybe it's facisting empathy in your

86
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 2>next one on one meeting or sharing a vision. To

87
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>inspire your team and to help you, I've created a

88
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>free resource, the Leadership Style Self Assessment. You can download

89
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>it from my stand store or my website Paulfalavlito dot com.

90
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a quick tool to help you identify your strengths

91
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>and areas for growth. The workplace is changing, and so

92
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>is leadership. Our best chance for success as leaders is

93
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>to stay on top of leadership by knowing and understanding

94
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>all of the different leadership styles that are out there.

95
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>By adopting these five styles servant, transformational, adaptive, empathetic, and

96
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>data driven, you can lead with intention and make a

97
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 2>lasting impact in twenty twenty five and beyond. This has
