Question 1: What’s your dominant leadership style?
AUTOCRATIC (Authoritarian) - STRENGTHS: Decisive, efficient, thrives in crisis. WATCH OUT: Can stifle creativity and morale if overused. THINK: General Patton meets Elon Musk.
DEMOCRATIC (Participative)- STRENGTHS: Inclusive, collaborative, builds trust and buy-in. WATCH OUT: Can slow down decision-making or feel leaderless. THINK: Oprah in a team huddle. Everyone has a voice, but decisions take time.
TRANSFORMATIONAL- STRENGTHS: Visionary, inspirational, drives innovation and growth. WATCH OUT: Big dreams require clear execution plans. THINK: Satya Nadella reinventing Microsoft culture from the inside out.
TRANSACTIONAL- STRENGTHS: Structured, reliable, delivers on goals. WATCH OUT: Can feel rigid, uninspiring, or overly tactical. THINK: The coach who runs a tight ship and gets results, but may not ask how you're feeling.
LAISSEZ-FAIRE (Delegative)- STRENGTHS: Hands-off, empowers autonomy, trusts the team. WATCH OUT: Risk of lack of direction or accountability. THINK: The “cool” professor who trusts you to figure it out—for better or worse.
SERVANT LEADER- STRENGTHS: Empowers others, builds trust and loyalty. WATCH OUT: Can be seen as “too soft” or avoidant of tough calls. THINK: Ted Lasso. Heart first, but sometimes you still need to win the game.
BUREAUCRATIC - STRENGTHS: Ensures fairness, compliance, consistency. WATCH OUT: Can kill innovation with red tape. THINK: Government leadership at its best—and at its most maddening.
BONUS STYLE: THE AVOIDER- STRENGTHS: Seeks harmony, reduces tension short-term. WATCH OUT: Avoids conflict, tough conversations, or accountability. Not a leadership style per se—more of a self-protective habit. THINK: “Let’s not rock the boat” …until it sinks.

Many leaders avoid confrontation because they’re afraid of damaging relationships. Ironically, the lack of confrontation is what usually damages them most.
