LEADERSHIP STYLE CHECK LINKS

Any organization with great leaders has its share of strong opinions, creativity, experience, involvement and enthusiasm.


Four classic leadership styles have been identified by veteran MPI member Steven G. Foster, CMP, Managing Partner of Circle R Ranch. A board can only effectively operate if all four leadership styles are present.


Review the Leadership Styles Reference Guide here to determine which of the four leadership styles – Warrior, Diplomat, Visionary and Architect – is your predominant leadership trait.
