Four Different Approaches to Leadership

According to speech of Brent ( CEO of Business Across Culture Co.), there are four types of leadership.

1. Social, considerate and always comforting Integrator Leader.
Strong point of this type of leader is he tender the atomosphere and try to solve peacefully. His way of leadership satisfy each needs, and unite group. Weakness is if trouble occur, he tend to just apologize or he overwhelmed by the followers.

2. inventive, creative and always optimistic Developer Leader.
He is creative, and come up with a lop of new ideas. He will provide new and creative ideas to solve problem. His weakness is he cannot control his ideas because of lacking of self-managing skill.

3. The quiet, self controlled and always prerared Baser Leader.
His primary is safety and planed actions. He predicts what will happen in advance, and try to avoid all of risks. His weak point is if unpredictable trouble happen, he lose his control and his "defence"and "ensurance" will be developed.

4. The speedy, goal oriented and always competing Result Leader.
He is enthusiastic and energish person. He may solve trouble so fast that he can do other tasks more. His weakness is if the big problem occured, he tend to be monopoly and selfish.


I did the test to identify which I belongs to. I got 6 Integrator points, 6 Beser points, 0 Result point, and 2 Developer points. My result is I am integrator and baser leader. It sounds I am a safe driver. In my experience, I do not say my opinions in the discussion because I am a Leader. Even I am a part of the follower, I may say my opinion. My thought is leader should not say too much opinion because leader has a authority and power. There is no "best leadership model", but I feel it is the best for me.
