What a wonderful read Anu! Very thought provoking as well. Indeed there is no one style that can be titled the best (or worst) leadership style. The context, culture, situation etc ...everything calls for a particular style. I had once read somewhere that leadership is about followership. From a psychodynamic perspective I feel probably effectiveness is a factor of what needs the leader-follower dynamics fills for each. Just thinking aloud 😊. Thank you!

Wonderful read Anupama. I couldn't help but box the Shining Ruler with the narcissistic leader. They seem to go hand in hand in my experience. The Shine is more a self fulfilling prophecy rather than an intention to lead. I agree that leadership style need to be flexible and adaptable depending on the situation. I think of a scale that has authority on one end and leadership on the other, with the dial moving depending on the circumstance. Great article!
