Different situations will require different leadership styles, and leaders need to be able to select the right style at the right time. But the over-riding imperative is to move from compliance-based to high-performance commitment-based organizations, and there is therefore a need for different, more collaborative responses to situations that leaders face in their organizations. Effective leaders in the 21st century will change their philosophy from “command and control” to Facilitative Leadership, in which the key skills are those of team and group facilitation, and the role is one of a coach, partner and inspiration.
