March Madness: Leadership Championship

As the basketball world gets ready for the Final Four this Saturday, April 5, Refresh Leadership just had it’s own Final Four. Through our own March Madness Leadership Championship, we started with eight different leadership styles and had you vote on which should advance to the next round. Laissez-faire narrowly beat out Transactional, however, Coaching won against Democratic in a landslide.

And then there were two.

This is the championship game. Winner takes all, so read the scouting report below and vote on which leadership style goes home with the “W.”


Coaching – This is a one-on-one approach that is focused on employee development and growing workers into top talent. Its strength is to help team members meet their goals within the company and personal career, but can be perceived as micromanaging.

Laissez-faire – This French phrase literally means “let (them) do.” This leave-it-be mentality gives most decision-making power and responsibility to the employees. While this works well with highly experienced and well-trained individuals, it may be detrimental for those needing supervision.
