• The democratic style, where decisions are made collectively and value is placed on consensus and participation.
• The cooperative style, which encourages teamwork and collaboration.
• The charismatic style, which inspires and motivates through personality and vision.

Each leadership style has its own strengths and can be differently effective depending on the situation and the corporate culture.

Become a successful leader with these management tools

There are a number of management tools that can help you lead successfully:

• Project management software: These tools help you delegate tasks effectively, track progress and make the best use of resources.
• Employee feedback systems: These not only help you measure and improve employee performance and satisfaction. They can also help to identify the development needs of managers and provide them with targeted training. Successful participation in leadership seminars and training can be documented by certificates. These certifications are visible evidence of ongoing competence development for both the leader themselves and the company.
• Communication platforms: They facilitate both internal and external communication and optimise the flow of information within the company. In addition, they can assist in monitoring and documenting compliance with company standards, which may be relevant for a specific IT security or data protection certification, for example.
• Negotiation techniques: These are crucial for managers to reach successful agreements, resolve conflicts and achieve the goals set. Through ongoing training and practice, these skills can be refined and applied to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of teamwork.
