The Leadership Style Quiz : What Type of Leader Are You ?

WORDS BY ANTONINA JOSON

Since childhood , we ’ ve all been taught the concept of leadership . In our younger years , this could look like roleplaying “ the boss ” at the playground or running for student council . As we mature and progress through life , our definition of leadership changes . Some people develop an assertive personality that spearheads projects and sees the bigger picture . Others prefer leading from the background , providing support and encouragement while their team meets their goals .

Your leadership style greatly affects the performance of your team and your fleet . As a fleet owner and industry leader , it is important to note that you are also a leader of people . As such , the way you guide , motivate , and understand them greatly affects how they execute their roles in your organisation .
Not only should we consider how we lead our teams , but how leadership style affects fleet and team performances . As a leader , responsibility is traced back to you — and your team conduct also reflects you .
