Great leadership style is different from your own personality. It derives from the social markers that we express in the workplace.
The signals we send to others about our status fall into two categories: Power and Attractiveness.
Our default leadership style is called natural style. Whenever we are in neutral situations it is our selected option and we behave relatively powerful with it.
Natural style has five categories: powerful, lean powerful, blended, lean attractive, and attractive.
A blended style is best described as having "presence". It is rare because it involves an equal use of both power and attractiveness markers.
