There is no simple answer to whether you are on the right track in your leadership. Different types of leadership are necessary in different situations, and there are a variety of theories on how to best exercise leadership.
To promote effective leadership, we need to start with the research. It shows that a leader who takes the time to listen and shows consideration is someone whom many people appreciate and value as a leader. As a first step, you should act as a constructive leader who inspires your employees and creates a motivating work environment.
When employees are encouraged to voice and share their ideas, and managers show interest in their feedback and opinions, this creates the conditions for active decision-making. This is where Hartic proves to be a valuable tool.
Hartic is not intended to determine which leadership style is the most effective, but rather to help determine whether leadership in the workplace is viewed as constructive or destructive—that is, whether it affects employees in a positive or negative way.
To succeed in constructive leadership, the organization must create the right conditions to prevent destructive leadership. With the help of Hartic, you can identify leaders who need support in their leadership roles, where there is room for improvement. For each leader, it is always their unique circumstances that determine what kind of support is needed. For example, leaders who handle demanding, dangerous, and threatening situations may need additional training in stress management.
Today, researchers know that leadership and different leadership styles play a major role in shaping the work environment. Therefore, there is a clear purpose in measuring how leadership is perceived over time—not only to help leaders better understand how leadership works, but also to actually provide the opportunity to ensure that employees receive the type of leadership they need, which is essential for creating healthy, well-functioning, and sustainable workplaces.
