Leaders' Characteristics

Everyone of us belongs to a group. In every group, has a leader and every leader has a different characteristics towards his/her followers or members.

Simple Type – This type of leader is the modest of all. Leader in this type is more of a listener. She/he will listen to his comrades before deciding. But this leader, more often than not is an achiever, and very competitive. This leader will top everybody without everybody noticing that she/he is leading in any race there would be.

Negative Part: This leader lets her/his pen does the damage.

Military type – This type of leader is the most straight-forward one. If you have done something wrong, expect a disciplinary action whether it is “black on white” or verbally implemented. This leader has a strong personality, always abides “The Law” and observes good conduct. The “pwede nay an!” or “bahala na!” attitude is a big NO-NO! with this leader. This leader always seeks for perfection and the word “flaws” never existed in this leader’s vocabulary.

Negative Part: Never think of people that surround him while reprimanding subordinates.

Career – Oriented – This is a one man show type of leader. She/he will do or get everything that may get her/him up to the top. Trainings, seminars, name it this leader has it.

Negative Part: Never thinks of his/her subordinates career chances.

Force of Power – Now, this is challenging, this type is the POWER, and RULER to be exaggerated the GOD of the clan. No one dares to challenge this leader, try challenging this leader and you’ll get what you ask for. This leader is “the always right” type. This never listens to minions’ suggestions or ideas, only this leader is allowed in every right there would be in a group.

Negative Part: The only attack coming from this leader’s gofers is from behind.

Silent/Easy-going type – Here is the most dangerous type of all leaders. Lady Gaga’s Poker Face song is these leaders favourite song. Leaders in this bracket are dangerous considering that they are also the most observant of all. Silent type may seem one but actually they’re not. There so much activity in their as you speak infront of them, they’re reading your intentions and even gestures. You they’re okay or even liked you as you turn around but think again you’re wrong. A day after your conversation, rumors will roam around according to the silent-type leader’s perception that the latter relayed to co-leaders. May be your asking, how about the easy-going type? Still they are not safe. That could be there tactics to know who you really are. It is one way of evaluating their followers.

Negative Part: They’re unpredictable that’s why their followers’ loyalty is questionable.
