The Information Age has pushed businesses to further develop high-impact leadership styles and competencies.  These competencies can be placed in the following categories:

The Explorer:  This leader forges a vision and is an agent of change

The Beacon: This leader instills trust and inspires commitment to the vision

The Advocate: This leader is probably the loudest, clearest voice in support of visionary, strategic,  and values-based behaviors.

The Facilitator:  This leader creates and molds a teaming work style within the culture.

The Partner:  This leader tends to encourage supportive and collaborative work style.

The Coach: This leader tends to bring out the best in the organization's people, in terms of their aspirations and potential performance.

Now, this set of six leadership roles, when used, can create powerful leverage for the executive, manager, professional, or leader.
