Leadership styles: how flexible are you?

What else did they do?   What impact did it have on the recipient?  Most people are unaware of how they actually get things done – they just get on with it, and there is little time to think about the impact they’re having on those around them.  But in fact the leadership style – or styles – that people use, are largely responsible for the success or otherwise that they experience.
