Would you say your leadership style is viewed as trusting, competent, and one that is influential? If yes,\u00a0Nitkin Nohria<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0would consider that as legitimate leadership\u00a0(click on his name to see the article).<\/span>

Naturally, more is needed, such as having followers that align with our vision and goals and \u00a0the ability to build strong and lasting relationships. When strong relationships exist, there\u2019s generally a sense of loyalty, trust, inclusion, and the ability to provide and receive healthy feedback.<\/span>

Nohria\u2019s article is geared towards CEOs, but the desired behaviors and actions he provides apply to leaders of any level.\u00a0\u00a0Being a legitimate leader requires the following:<\/span>

Communicate clearly<\/span>
Help your team understand your organization; what got it to where it is today, your vision for the future, and how each person can contribute to that vision.<\/span>

Demonstrate fairness<\/span>
Be caring, just, and impartial; set the tone for others to follow.<\/span>

Behave with integrity<\/span>
Ensure what you say aligns with your actions and behaviors; in other words, “walk the talk”!<\/span>

Show authenticity<\/span>
Be open about your strengths and weaknesses as well as your successes, challenges, and failures. Be approachable, actively listen to the opinions of others, and solicit feedback.<\/span>

Put the company first<\/span>
Show that your interests are secondary to those of the company\u2019s; help others understand why that will lead to more successes and professional (and maybe personal) satisfaction.<\/span>

Stay grounded<\/span>
Be real, be humble, show your human side, and display good work\/life balance.<\/span>

Maintain a sense of purpose<\/span>
Meeting shareholder needs is one thing, but what value is provided to your internal or external customer? Let your team know the value they personally provide, and how and why they are making a difference.<\/span>

In summary, Nitin Nohria says\u00a0“authority-based leadership<\/i>\u00a0is based on formal power and decision-making rights, and\u00a0competence-based leadership<\/i>\u00a0focuses on performance,\u00a0legitimacy-based leadership<\/i>\u00a0is based on behaviors and actions that inspire others\u2019 trust, respect, and commitment. . . .\u00a0legitimacy-based leadership is more sustainable and effective in the long run”<\/i>.<\/i><\/span>

Which style of leadership are you most aligned with? Would a change be beneficial?<\/span>
