9. Pause to Reflect Which leadership style comes most naturally to you?
Which style would be most effective for your position at HOC? Why? (Consider staff competency, the amount of work that needs to be done, how staff communicates, etc.)
If your answers to 1 and 2 are different, how can you adjust the way you work?
What problems might arise if you do not make this adjustment?
Other things to consider
What leadership styles do you see in the people you supervise?
Do their styles fit well with their job duties?
If an employee’s style is not a good fit with their job duties, how can you discuss the situation with them?

Low Respect for the other person High
An individual will have one style that they generally feel most comfortable with. However, in certain situations they will feel more comfortable adopting a different style . For example, a Winnie the Pooh personality may turn into a shark if you say something about their child. Any person can learn to effectively be any one of these animals, but they will still prefer one style over the others.
