“What are the six styles of leadership? None will shock workplace veterans.
Indeed, each style, by name and brief description alone, will likely resonate with anyone who leads, is led, or as is the case with most of us, does both.
Coercive leaders demand immediate compliance. Authoritative leaders mobilize people toward a vision. Affiliative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic leaders build concensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future.”
– Daniel Goleman

As an organization develops and grows, both in its programs and its culture, the type of leader that is required changes as well. To recruit a new leader, you first have to identify the strategic goals of the organization and the skills and experience in a leader that would deliver on those goals. This process is one of the most important tasks facing any not-for-profit board.
One of the foundational documents in the recruitment process is the job description. Use this template as a building block to create a job description that encapsulates your organization's mission, future priorities, and desired leadership competencies.
