2. What’s Your Leadership Style?
This is where you put the name of your presentation.
Janet Tilley
Senior Director for Board Development, MSBA

3. #1: Keep It Intact. You enjoy being alone, you’re a dreamer, and you’re an artistic person. Sometimes it may seem that you live in your own world inside your head. You are sensitive, gentle, easygoing, considerate, and tolerant. At the same time, you can be very straightforward and generous.
You always have a lot of thoughts and ideas and you’re willing to share them with others.
#2: Squeeze from the Middle. You are a realistic and active person and are usually in a bit of a rush. You are not the tidiest individual and you’re not the most organized, but if you face a challenge, you are capable of pulling yourself together and solving it. You are very sociable, have a lot of friends, and like to be in public. You know how to balance your life and you’re emotionally stable.
#3 Squeeze from the Top. You are very stubborn and you are able to do a lot to get what you want and to achieve your goals. You are prone to pessimism and do not trust people very much, you’re used to relying only on yourself. You are sufficiently self-centered and love yourself, which is very good until you start being selfish and use other people for your own purposes.
#4 Roll from Bottom. You are a very thrifty and tidy person and while you do care about your possessions, you also care about the people around you. You are a perfectionist and you don’t like to waste anything so you use all the resources you have to the fullest extent. You are used to working hard and you do your work very well, which means that other people can rely on you. Your house is always clean and your life is very organized.
#5 Squeeze from Anywhere. You have the ability to see the world in a different light than most and you’re very artistic and creative. You can find beauty everywhere. It can be difficult for you to be punctual and tidy all the time and you may have a hard time planning and accomplishing tasks, but you’re very optimistic and open-minded. You may be prone to frequent mood swings, however.
