In the spirit of the New Year and new beginnings, we wanted to share with you – an infographic on various leadership styles that was recently featured on Entrepreneur.com. The infographic was created by Business-Management-Degree.net and cites intel from Harvard Business Review.

What kind of leaders do you have within your organization? Authoritative? Affiliative? Democratic? How about Coaching leaders, Pacesetting leaders or Coercive leaders? Which leadership style best describes you?

Each of these six distinct leadership styles stem from differences in emotional intelligence, a pivotal quotient to consider when inspiring and motivating employees.

As you plan out 2015, this may be the right time to take an audit of the various types of leaders that you have within your organization, and the influences that they each have on your employees.

We hope you find this visual analysis insightful, and we look forward to supporting you with the right mix of leadership personalities and emotionally intelligent individuals to drive your success in 2015!
