I found it's 7 chategories of leader helped me to understand why I tackle things one way and others around me, who are different types of leaders, tackle them differently. That was a valuable insight that was totally consistent with my experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding your leadership style, May 28, 2004

By	Jeff (Omaha, Nebraska) - See all my reviews

Here's a book that all educators should read. The questionnaires and self-help activities make it easy for educators to analyze their leadership potential and match their leadership style. The full descriptions of the seven types of leaders are easy to follow and provide insight into your own behaviors and the strengths of those around you. The vivid scenarios provide clear steps and a multitude of strategies that would encourage educators to stretch their leadership capacities. As a school administrator, I see this book as an excellent tool in the crucial process of matching leadership qualities with specific jobs in the educational system.
