FREE eBook - Stop Managing, Start Leading

Use this Guide to help you move from being a Manager to being a Leader

Employees today are demanding that their managers have a modern, Progressive Leadership Style.

Under a Progressive style, leadership and management are similarly defined as transposable concepts that are not just integral; they are the same and inseparable. Together, leading (visionary) and managing (activity-orientation) form a framework necessary for leading and building high-performance teams.

Progressive Leadership Styles are focused on people; these leaders are role models who set high targets and expectations. Team members look to this style for strong values, courage, and a sense of ethics. To succeed with this style, a manager needs to be emotionally mature - not going off the handle, being erratic or inconsistent.

Progressive leadership is all about creating a safe workplace to have conversations and freely voice ideas. It is a style that changes and transforms individuals. In other words, it is the ability to get people to want to change, improve, and be led. It involves assessing team members’ motives and strengths, satisfying their needs, and valuing them. It places team members; first, it creates high levels of mutual trust, accountability, and collaboration.
