Forbes recently published an article featuring Moshe Cohen, Master Lecturer of Management and Organizations, discussing adapting management styles to different teams and situations.
Cohen emphasizes the importance of tailoring leadership approaches to employees’ experience and needs. “When working with adult learners, I use a much more democratic style, giving them considerable say in the design and execution of their learning experience,” he says.
He also notes that younger, newer students may respond better to “a more visionary or charismatic approach.”
The article highlights the value of flexibility and self-awareness in effective leadership, encouraging managers to understand their own strengths while adapting their approach to meet the needs of their teams.
