Flexible
- Flexible leaders are, as the name suggests, more versatile than other types of leaders
- Comfortable with uncertainty, open-minded in adapting to circumstances,
- And willing to involve a variety of people in the decision making. They are fairly cautious when it comes to making decisions.
- The problem with flexible leaders is that they can become too open-minded.
- Looking at all the potential issues, solutions, and outcomes and often running into analysis paralysis.
- Setting up deadlines and moving one step at a time can help facilitate such a mental model

Catalyst
- The catalyst is an excellent person to lead the work of groups, whether making decisions or implementing them.
- They are quite balanced and neutral in their thought process.
- The more extreme the necessary decision, the more they can naturally resist inherent biases.
- That said, being middle of the road can yield only average results.
- To avoid that, a catalyst should watch for circumstances that require high-stakes decisions
- And realize that they may need a different type of decision process, like having a team look at the situation and suggest potential approaches.
