Leadership Style Has a Critical Impact on your Business

There's no right or wrong leadership style. For example, a democratic leadership style is useful when seeking input or trying to build consensus on an issue; an affirmative style is a good choice when it's necessary to intervene in order to mend rifts or to inspire people who are under stressful circumstances. And each style brings its own benefits.But consistently using only one leadership style can prevent you from being the best leader for your business. As the famous Chinese proverb goes, "The wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water molds itself to the pitcher." This ability to adapt is the mark of a wise leader who has learned that one leadership style doesn't fit all.

American Express is following this strategy and they says; at American Express, we appreciate the impact that talented leaders can have on business and society as a whole and we dedicate significant resources to attract, develop and retain talented employees.

We are seeking the best methods, programs and partners that provide current and future nonprofit leaders with practical opportunities to learn and build leadership skills. We are especially interested in proposals that cultivate leadership opportunities for diverse communities within the nonprofit sector or that focus on innovative leadership development programs for emerging leaders of world-class institutions. Our focus is on training professionals with demonstrated commitment to the nonprofit sector in programs specifically targeted to the arts, environment, higher education and social service arenas. We will accept a limited number of requests for programs impacting emerging leaders in the public sector and requests for programs that support entrepreneurs.
