Leadership Power Style Survey

How aware are you of your own leadership power style?

A leadership power style refers to a particular polarity continuum that presents itself in social interactions leaders face. On one side of the continuum, there is the assertive power style and on the other side, there is the accommodative power style. Most leaders have an inherent bias towards one side or the other though neither is "right" or "wrong". Agile leadership requires leaders to seek a balance of both sides of the continuum, drawing from the positive attributes of each and knowing when to employ what approach.
