I was asked recently about my leadership style.\u00a0 Everyone has a leadership style.\u00a0 It grows out of your disposition.\u00a0 Your disposition is your habitual inclination or tendency to think in a specific way. It is the way you generally look at things.\u00a0 You may be born with it or it may develop over many years.\u00a0 It frames your internal viewpoint and your external responses to circumstances.<\/p>\n

Your internal\u00a0disposition is the lens you see everything through.\u00a0 Do you think people are basically honest?\u00a0 Are you generally trusting to strangers?\u00a0 Do you think people will in general work hard?\u00a0 Do you tend to work collaboratively when called on for decisions? All of these reflect your\u00a0disposition and approach to leading.<\/p>\n

Your external responses, at least the ones where you respond by reflex, are the first actions you think of when approaching others and circumstances around you.\u00a0 If you are mistrusting, you will shy away from sharing too much or giving responsibility away.\u00a0 If you think people are generally lazy, you will tend to drive people harder as you expect them to under-perform.\u00a0 If you like to work with teams, you will gather together others to help you make decisions.<\/p>\n

Your natural disposition can be adjusted by learning from others and seeing traits that work well, but you will mostly adjust your methods in ways that tend to leverage or build upon your natural tendencies.\u00a0 With this in mind, let’s think a bit about how you can leverage your natural\u00a0disposition to expand your influence and leadership prowess.<\/p>\n

Over the next few posts, I will discuss how your leadership\u00a0disposition sets the stage for your actions within four basic perspectives – using the RISE acronym<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong> – getting projects done<\/p>\n

Improvement<\/strong> – motivating and making people better<\/p>\n

Structure<\/strong> – improve the system of things<\/p>\n

Expansion<\/strong> – pushing into new territory<\/p>\n
