Leadership Style Assessment
If you are hiring someone for a leadership position you need to know if they have the requisite leadership skills. The C-me leadership style assessment can provide you with that data, and let you know what type of leader you would be bringing on board. Find out whether a candidate has keen problem-solving and decision-making skills and more with our leadership style assessment.
The 4 Main Styles of Leadership
There are 4 generally accepted types of leadership and you need to know which one describes the person you're considering. If indeed they have any leadership qualities at all, which our leadership style assessment will also reveal.
The 4 main types of leader are:
• The autocrat: Autocratic leadership is a top-down style of leadership where the person believes they are the only one qualified to take the lead. They give orders and expect them to be followed to the letter. This type of leadership often creates a tense, fear-based work environment.
• The democrat: The democratic leader thrives on input from their subordinates. Though they may not always incorporate outside suggestions they are earnest in their desire to hear what others think and this helps create a relaxed, inclusive environment.
• The transformational leader: The transformational leader is someone on a mission. Entrepreneurs are transformational leaders because they see it as their job to communicate their vision to their staff and make sure everyone buys in and is pulling in the same direction.
• The laissez-faire leader: The laissez-faire leader trusts their staff to know what to do. They typically only intervene when something's gone wrong or the team is treading water. Even then their input will be designed to help the staff find and implement the solution themselves.

About C-me
The C-me colour profiling system represents a paradigm shift in the worker assessment space. Rather than relying on outdated and often inconclusive personality-based assessments the C-me system is behaviour based. The resulting assessments are richer, more enlightening and more useful in terms of team-building than anything that's come before. Just ask the BBC, the NHS, Oracle and other companies and institutions that have adopted the C-me assessment system.
