4 Factors That Affect Your Leadership Style

Did you know that your type of person affects your leadership style? 

When I say, type of person, it means it is the core of who you are. It drives certain attributes and challenges as well. 

In the FREE workshop that I will be launching, you will be able to identify your type, and you will learn how to utilize your type to become a great leader. 

But for today’s video, I want to focus on a certain component of this which really drives leadership style and teamwork- the component of passive or active and negative or positive. 

The passive type is more content with the way things are and thinks that there is no need for change if things are going well. Active types, however, always see the need to change and improve things. 

Negative types see the glass as half empty or tend to be more pessimist. They see what is not going right whether it is a physical process or ideas. This would also affect how they approach others about the change they want to make, and a positive passive type may see their approach as aggressive or threatening.  

Positive types tend to see the glass half full and are optimists. They seek change and improvements but would approach others in a more diplomatic and positive way. Thus, people would tend to perceive them as less aggressive and more diplomatic.  

Learning the Types of People approach is a powerful way to know yourself better and to understand others. It provides in-depth knowledge of the core motivation, qualities, and fears of people.  

The best way to learn this is through an interactive workshop with a group of people. You can add yourself to the list to receive news of upcoming workshops on Types of People, Ways to Success.

How To Break Free From Your Fears

Fear is one of those things that can seem like it’s holding you back—the only problem is, you might not even know it’s there. 

Identifying your fear related to your type can be a powerful way to deal with it and move toward your goals. It can also help you understand what’s holding you back in the first place. 

So, what are some of these fears? 

Some types of people are afraid of ineffectiveness for example. While it has some positive effects, such as reaching the goal or accomplishing the task immediately, if you are afraid of ineffectiveness, you might tend to be pushy, especially if you are a manager. You might be too authoritarian to your direct reports because you want to get things done immediately or in your way. Others might think that you are too bossy or too dominating. 

You can’t remove your fear related to your type. It’s inborn in all of us. But you can control it! 

Fear is a powerful thing, but it doesn’t have to hold us back from acting or achieving our goals!

That’s why I am launching my FREE Workshops on Types of People that will help you identify your motivation, your fear, and how you can work on your fears, utilizing them to become more effective.

How to Manage Employee Performance using a Win-Win Agreement

How do you keep yourself and your employees accountable while continuously improving performance?



In this video, I talk about the win-win agreement- a communication process that makes managing employees and having people accountable much easier.

Ideally, it begins with the manager explaining the company or department goals to the employees. Then, the employees can formulate their performance commitments in writing for discussion and agreement with the manager.


Next, the employee defines the support they require from the manager to meet their performance commitments. This is discussed and put in writing using the win-win agreement template that you can download for free. 


Watch the video for a complete explanation and leave a comment if you have questions. 

Download the win-win agreement and get access to all my forms and templates.
