    Article Summary

    The presented research based article discusses about leadership style and leaders effort of
    evolving from one style to another. The authors believe that leaders are not born but made, in fact
    the article starts from a quotation Leaders are made not born, and how they develop is critical
    for organizational change. The authors suggest that leaders evolve from less efficient to more
    efficient style by acknowledging their own action logic (how they interpret and react to their
    surrounding). As leaders acknowledge their current action logic, they can be supported and
    motivated to move to a better leadership style. The authors have identified seven crucial
    leadership styles through their 25 years of intensive research. These seven styles are:
    Opportunist, Diplomats, Experts, Achievers, Individualists, Strategists, and Alchemist which
    constituted 5%, 12%, 38%, 30%, 10%, 4% and 1% of the sample respectively.
    The article not only talks about the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of these seven
    leadership styles but also suggests how leaders can evolve from one to another. They have
    prescribed three techniques to evolve from Experts to Achievers to Individualists to Strategists
    and beyond. The guidelines and suggestions that the authors have presented are as below:
    From Experts to Achievers- Focus more on delivering results than on perfecting knowledge,
    Become aware of differences between your assumptions and those of others, and Participate in
    training programs on topics such as effective delegation and leading high-performing teams
    From Achievers to Individualists- Reflect on the worth of the goals themselves, with the aim of
    improving future goals and use annual leadership development planning to set the highest-impact
    goals.
    From Individualists to Strategists and Beyond- Engage in peer-to-peer development and
    establish mutual mentoring with members of one's professional network who can challenge
    assumptions/practices, as well as those of the company and industry.
    Moreover, categories of leadership styles can be used to describe teams and organizations as
    well. Teams can change their style. For instance, Strategist CEOs help Individualist senior teams
    balance action and inquiry and so transform into Strategist teams. Hence, there should be the
    readiness to transform beyond the current action logic. Those who are willing to work at
    developing themselves and becoming more self-aware can almost certainly evolve over time into
    truly transformational leaders.
