The Hands-On Leader

The Hands-On Leader

You’re a leader who isn’t afraid to get your hands dirty. You are humble, hard-working and willing to be a member of the team, even if you’re leading it. I commend you. This kind of leadership is rare. As you continue to grow, step back and take a bird’s-eye view of how your team is doing. Sometimes being in the trenches can keep you from seeing the best strategy. Balance your strong work ethic with advice from someone who is a keen strategist.

The Inspirational Leader

The Inspirational Leader

As a good communicator, you make people feel special, inspire loyalty and create a friendly company culture. These strengths—essential to great leadership—are only part of the equation. If you are all talk and no action, people will find it hard to follow you. Be sure you’re working alongside the people you’re inspiring, and consult more task-oriented peers for the objectivity you may lack.
