2 psychological profilesHow leaders develop their personal styles

Psychologist Mark Snyder

High self-monitors or chameleons

Keep trying on different styles until they find a good fit for themselves and their circumstances

Low self-monitors or true to self

Tend to express what they really think and feelThey may stick too long with comfortable behavior

Chameleons arrived much faster at an authentic but more skillful style.

The true-to-selfers continued to focus solely on demonstrating technical mastery.

Managers perceived the inability to adapt as a lack of effort or investment

Didn’t give true-to-selfers as much mentoring and coaching as they gave the chameleons.

Negative feedback given to leaders often centers on style rather than skills or expertise.

There is no leadership style that works for all.

Collaborative and Decisive

Strategic and Tactical

Enthusiastic and Critical

User-focused and Business-savvy

Data-driven and Intuitive
