The Collaborative Leader

No relationship, no mission.

If you scored more E’s on the Leadership Style Inventory, you operate in the Collaborative Leadership style. Others describe you as helpful, understanding, composed, and dependable. You are the cornerstone of your organization because it takes more than a crisis to shake you. You are calm under pressure, helpful when a need arises, understanding during a conflict, and dependable when there appears to be no support available.

You like celebrating others by hosting social events and dream of entertaining in an era gone by where lace and pearls ruled the day. Even your dress is understated elegance. Suits and simple blouses are your staples. With pen in hand, you are ready to tackle even the most detailed of projects because you are able to see what no one else sees. You know that ignored details can usually derail even the most finely tuned project.

You and your sister the strategic leader have much in common. She is also a detail person—she develops the strategy and you see the holes and fill them. Working with her is like waltzing. You both dance to the same music. You just have to decide who is going to lead.

You are conservative in your actions and can usually spot where trouble will occur. Others also describe you as a team player. You shine when it comes to working with others for a common cause. You are a genius when it comes to making posters, developing surveys, and gathering data for a project. You thrive when working with a committee and love making collaborative decisions.

You do not allow your ego to play a role in what you do because you understand that the mission serves the greater good and is usually not about the individual. You do not enjoy working alone on the mission and have no problem helping others see where they fit while working on a project.

As a collaborative leader, you understand that laboring with others can be a joyful process as long as everyone understands the mission and they can see the part they have to play. You are just the woman to help them see how important they are to the overall project so that everything flows as it should.

Collaborative Leadership Strengths

Collaboration, or helping others work together, is the core of your leadership style. You are the consummate diplomat and you understand how to negotiate almost any situation, no matter how complex. You have the gift of bringing others together when nothing else has worked to bring them into agreement. You are an expert at creating connections and harmony between people within the organization.

You have your finger on the pulse of how others feel even when they do not express their feelings out loud. Your leadership style dream is to have complete harmony in the workplace. You want everyone to like and celebrate one another. Although you know this may never happen, you don’t give up hope. You spread your essence of workplace fire around so everyone feels the warmth of its glow.
