All leaders have their own leadership style. Some leadership practices are more effective than others, which is evidenced by company growth and employee satisfaction. Because effective leadership plays a compelling role in a company’s success, leadership styles have been studied, scrutinized, categorized, and often labeled. Effective leadership styles, although labeled differently, often show a similar theme. For this discussion, select 1 of the Web resources provided in this Unit to learn about effective leadership styles. Then, consider the following issue:

Our leadership team has a situation that needs to be dealt with. We have grown sizably over the past year. This has caused us to expand our branches and warehouses. We are also facing an inventory issue that has to be resolved.

Discuss the following:

• Based on your reading, describe the leadership style that would best help this leadership team deal with their expanding employee, management, and warehouse base.
• Why do you think this leadership style would be the most effective?

Please reference any material used to support your answer using APA format.
