QR Challenge: Leadership Styles

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.


B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.


Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. Visionary They take a “come with me” approach, as they lead the business into their vision of what success could look like.Stuffed with self-confidence and enough emotional intelligence to offer sincere empathy to others, this leadership style oozes charisma and enjoys expressing their ideas with clarity and passion. ..
2. Coaching With an eye on the long-term, the coaching style of leadership focuses on developing others.They're like the Italian mother who's worth is measured in weight of spaghetti consumed.“Try this.” "Go on, try some more..." With a strong sense of self and focus on the individual, this leadership style works on the premise that each step is progress.And that's how it works to bring out the best in people.Adjusting yet pushing the bar for consistent growth, while empowering their mentees to learn the skills that will drive the business forward.Great coaches understand their team and accept that they, just like their people, are constantly learning. ..
3. Affiliative We’re entering touchy-feely territory here. An affiliative style of leadership puts people first, concentrating on creating a harmonious working environment and building emotional bonds.The affiliative leadership style requires lots of empathy and the ability to build relationships through a range of communication styles.This tact proves particularly helpful during stressful circumstances, and if applied well, can help to motivate employees to continue through the tough times. It can also be used to heal rifts in a team or to establish new teams.On the flip side, this leader can struggle to understand how to improve poor performance and may be more hesitant to provide advice. ..
4. Democratic “So, what do you think?” is a phrase you can expect to hear from leaders demonstrating the democratic leadership style of management. They work hard to develop consensus through participation, using their skills of collaboration and excellent communication to lead their team.From polls to surveys, to feedback to questionnaires, a democratic leadership style relies heavily on the views and opinions of their team.These leaders are typically able to incorporate the broad spectrum of ideas, views and input from valuable employees, leaders and stakeholders to their advantage. So, in a nutshell, great for managing change and an agile workforce.Top tip: Structure meetings by setting out rules and boundaries. Record these somewhere accessible, like your company documents section on Breathe. We'll even send you a notification once your team have read it and are up to speed. ..
5. Pacesetting With the highest of expectations, this style of leadership wants tasks completed yesterday. “Do as I do and do it now", is their motto.This approach is well-suited to highly competent and motivated teams, working to tight deadlines. Perhaps not the best-suited to everyday environments and less-pressured settings.The drive to succeed and strong initiative of this leadership style is certainly admirable. However, tread with caution. Because of their own incredible passion and discipline, this type of leader could intimidate and unknowingly pressure employees.Remember to walk a mile in their shoes and avoid micromanagement when considering individuals' workloads. ..
6. Commanding Do what I say” is the coercive leader's favoured management motto. Like a sergeant leading his troops onto the battlefield, this leader is armed with bucket-loads of initiative and balanced with self-control.A style that’s often synonymous with the armed forces, coercive leaders tend to:demand immediate compliance,react well during crisis, kickstart change/motivate; as well as confront problematic employees.Remember that this style of leadership can prove destructive for more creative members and projects. Whereas followers feel safe and guided, more able employees may lose motivation and are likely to resent micromanagement.Our advice? Think about implementing a flexible working scheme or adopting more of a growth mindset to build trust and earn respect from your people..
