Chapter 2
One of the main reasons I study management theory is to gain insight into
effective management. Theories like transformational leadership and situational
leadership taught me that leadership is not a one-on-one endeavor. Instead, it
requires a nuanced approach that takes into account the team's unique needs
and operating environment. Learning from these theories helped me develop a
more flexible and adaptable leadership style. For example, understanding the
importance of emotional intelligence in leadership was a game changer and
helped me build stronger and more empathetic relationships with colleagues and
team members.
