Activate leadership through positive strengths.

Display a positive leadership style by minimizing negativity and sharing positivity.

Discover your unique leadership style. Learning the evolution of leadership theory and how it has changed through the years can provide clues on how you tend to lead. Every leader has a unique style that is their default mode of leading, and learning to recognize the default mode allows you to know when you need to flex the style to fit a certain leadership situation. 

In this chapter, you will be introduced to the Harmonic Leadership Wheel, a simple model used to better understand and delineate between different leadership styles. The wheel displays the Positive Strengths that leaders display to create a positive organization, as well as the Negative Challenges that leaders might show when stressed. The concept of the Center Point of Care will be introduced to describe how to flex to meet the needs of others.
