Using leadership in your franchise

As management styles have evolved over recent years from the forceful leadership style more towards enabling leadership, more questions are raised as to whether a successful leader needs to be more versatile than ever before.

It is argued that a "forceful leader" takes charge, is in control, takes stands and articulates them clearly. Someone has to make the tough calls.

The "enabling leader" empowers staff and substitutes and is able to delegate effectively. He does not just listen to others ideas but is responsive to them creating an understanding and enthusiasm for self development within an organisation.

In franchising, and in many small company environments, this approach is crucial to success of the business. In truth versatility is key. Versatile leaders adjust their behaviours, apply the right approach to the right degree for the circumstances in hand.
