Leadership in the organization

The GLOBE Project (House et al., 2004) study focused on areas of an individual’s intrinsic views of self. Leaders as well as their followers are individuals and possess different leadership styles. The GLOBE study mentions six: charismatic or value-based, team-oriented, participative, autonomous, humane-oriented, and self-protecting leadership (Erez, 2011). Each dimension can be used during different scenarios in the leadership role. Applying each dimension aids in the creation of the organization’s culture. Are you using these leadership styles in your organization to build the culture?
