  • Keeps knowledge/info to themselves

  • Makes decisions alone

  • Communicates one-way

  • Treats staff more as objects

  • Uses criticism, fear, and micromanagement to control staff

  • Protects themselves & their career

  • Focused on short-term wins

  • Deflects blame towards others

A Leader:

  • Welcomes input/insight of others

  • Shares knowledge & info widely

  • Involves staff in decision making

  • Communicates in all directions

  • Treats staff as valued partners

  • Builds autonomy via trust, mentoring, and constructive feedback

  • Protects staff as much as themselves

  • Focused on long-term goals

  • Accepts responsibility for others
