If you are a manager of any level, you probably thought at least once in your life, how your inferiors would describe your leadership style. Maybe, you treat your subordinates as equals. You see a unique personality in every worker, you inspire them and try to find an individual approach to each person. Or maybe vice versa? You choose to be a commander, carrying a rigid discipline and making them feel corporate hierarchy. Are you democratic or authoritarian, harmonizer or tyrant.
