1. Leadership style Task Planful flexible People Introduction:
To identify your change leadership style it is useful to focus on two different personality characteristics.
The first, do you consider yourself a more planful and scheduled person, or, do you see your self as flexible and spontaneous?
The second, are you more task-oriented or people oriented?
Obviously even task-oriented leaders connect with people, and people-oriented leaders focus on tasks, but what is most natural for you, where do you start?
Similarly, those of you who like to plan and schedule things can be spontaneous, and those of you who are flexible and spontaneous do organize life – but what is most natural for you? Where do you start?
