I frequently tell this to my those who purchased my book: "When you are walking and working in a rhythmic leadership mode, you have clearer thinking and a sharpened mindset that ignites your purpose, passion, and priorities."

[@MomentsWithGlover]

This was very informative and great presentation

[@FloridaMeng]

Democratic for team players, autocratic for selfish people, and lazy style for highly capable individuals, gotcha thanks broski.

Thanks.

[@orgcomm]

Wow, thank you!

[@virginiayoussef]

Which personality traits in a worker are fit to work with each style? Is there a theory discussing that?

[@orgcomm]

You mean what type of workers do best under each style of leader? That's a great question and I wish I knew the answer. There have been only limited studies the style of followers and even fewer (if any) on how followers' traits match up with leaders styles.

[@virginiayoussef]

@@orgcomm Yes this is what I mean, let me dig more and will be happy to share any meaningful results.

Nice

[@melissastrobel3083]

What leadership style do you use?

[@orgcomm]

Personally? I've been told I use a democratic style by most people when it comes up. I also score fairly high on the self-assessment tools that you see in books that compare and contrast these three styles. I sometimes use a more laissez-faire approach when everybody is really dialed in and knows what they are doing, which is ideal.
