202106221712 The four types of leaders

There's a theory that categorizes leaders into at least one of four archetypes.¹ There can be overlap among these and we can work at being better in areas that aren't natural for us, but we all have at least one of them that comes without as much effort as the others.

As with other personality categorization frameworks, the value of putting ourselves in these categories is not to define what we will or must do, rather to give us insight into our behaviors. We can augment our strengths and mitigate our weaknesses only if we're aware of them.

Which of these types do I fall most naturally into?

I think I’m most naturally a visionary style leader with a need to improve my operator skills.
