Effective leadership isn’t about following a formula, in spite of dozens of books endorsing one style over another. In this episode of Management Muse, Cindi Baldi and Geoff Tumlin challenge the myths around leadership styles and explain why the most impactful leaders prioritize results, adapt to the situation, and deeply understand their people. Geoff and Cindi explore why popular frameworks oversimplify what leadership really requires and how adhering to a leadership style can narrow your ability to manage effectively. Cindi and Geoff share what the science tells us about leadership  that gets results and why self-awareness, flexibility, and follow-through matter more than one style over another. Whether you're managing a team or preparing to take on more responsibility, this conversation will help you lead with more clarity, confidence, and substance.   Episode Highlights: Why leadership style conversations often miss the mark What truly effective leaders focus on their work How to avoid getting trapped in a leadership persona or style Why leadership is more about meeting the moment than your default style How self-awareness and adaptability improve leadership outcomes What the research says about what really works in leadership   Watch this episode on You Tube: https://youtu.be/4lyMbAtXxQ8   Join Our Community & Follow Us: - Youtube Channel  - LinkedIn - Instagram
