Liz Wiseman and Grey McKeown says:
The Empire Builder – Hoards resources and underutilizes talent
The Tyrant – Creates a tense environment that suppresses people’s thinking and capabilities
The Know-it-all – Gives directives that demonstrate how much he or she knows
The Decision Maker – Makes centralized, abrupt decisions that confuse the organization
The Micro-manager – Drives results through his or her personal involvement.
Signs of accidental diminishers:-
You are a Visionary – You lay out a compelling vision of the future and evangelise to your team. You think you are being a good leader, but you have not left enough space for employees to think through the challenges themselves.
You have got the gift of gab – You are passionate and articulate and you consume a lot of space in a meeting. You think your passion is infectious; in reality, it’s stifling.
You are a creative person – You are continually spouting ideas. You think you are sparking the creative process; in reality, you are causing organizational whiplash as people scurry to keep up with each new idea.
Adjust the leadership styles to benefit everyone
