decisions without consulting
others due to time pressures
upon the task at hand.
Teams operate best within a
clear and structured framework
of procedures.
The best decision will be the one
with the largest consensus.
People will come up with the
best working methods when
given minimal instruction.
Friends repeatedly come to me
for advice and support, and I
generously give it.
Friends have learnt to not
question my judgement, as I
rarely back down when I am
truly passionate about
something.
If everyone is forced to perform
the same task in the same way.
The efficiencies gained outweigh
the costs.
I receive friends approval before
making changes in my life.
I have learnt that people will
never fail to positively surprise
you if you leave them alone.
I consult a variety of people
when making decisions, but
they tend to agree with my
original idea anyway.
Half of people are intrinsically
hard working, but the other half
need to be pushed into
completing work to a high
enough standard.
Over time, we can continue to
build upon and add to ways of
doing things, which will make
life easier.
Friends constantly challenge my
ideas and strategies because

they know they are welcome

when they do so.
I can say with 100% conviction
that I do not micromanage.
People see me as a leader, not a
manager.
Leadership is about making the
right decisions, at the right time,
and ensuring the workforce
follow through with that decision
with effectiveness.
Cost savings can be made if
everybody does exactly what
theyre told, and dont try to
over-engineer solutions.
I try to delegate as many tasks
as possible in their complete
entirety.
I let friends get back to me
when they decide to, rather than
getting in touch myself.
I feel responsible for my friends,
and I look after them
accordingly.

Style A = Autocratic Leadership Style
Style B = Bureaucratic Leadership Style
Style C = Democratic Leadership Style
Style D = Laissez Faire Leadership Style
Style E = Paternalistic Leadership Style

For the first test that I took, it said that I am a paternalistic leader, which means that I have a managerial
approach that involves a dominant and treats employees and partners as they members of a large family, but I
expects loyalty and trust from employees, as well as obedience. This is true, I am like that, for the 50 questions
test, it said that I am a participative leader, which is like a democracy, I take all the ideas and the suggestions
and that we work efficiently together, this is not far from reality.
The tests were pretty accurate, I am a leader who is not a dictator, I listen to everybody, for me everyone have
strength and weaknesses, but I always try to take and get the best of my group members. I usually not ask to
be the leader, it just comes.
