Myers Briggs, Leadership, Love, and Power

Many studies have been undertaken to determine whether a particular leadership style is most beneficial for leadership success. There seems to be a correlation to the type of leadership work that needs to be performed with the type of style the leader most beneficially can possess. The implication is that the primary style of the leader needs to modulate to fit the needs of the circumstances being faced. Unfortunately few people have the capacity to change their inherent stripes…even adapting one’s style to accommodate the needs of someone else may in and of itself be daunting enough. In other words, the identification of style is a rather ineffective means to help leaders improve their capacity. It may provide some interesting insight, but few have the capacity to use the information in a meaningful way.
