Leadership styles

These are the 6 common forms of leadership promoted by HR consultants and other leeches:

The pacesetting leader leads from out front but doesn’t bother looking over its shoulder.

The authoritative leader hires minions and yells the mission at them.

The affiliative leader is that rare occurrence when the HR manager is accidentally promoted to boss.

The coaching leader is a self-serving individual who missed their real calling as a school teacher.

The coercive leader is a prick even at the worst of times.

The democratic leader hasn’t got a clue what he or she is doing, so asks the team instead.

NO, NO, NO … they have it all wrong.

The truly great leader is the LAZY leader. Too lazy to fail. Too lazy to care about screwing with people’s heads. Too lazy to be fucked up emotionally. Too lazy to be stupid.

Its not what they do but what motivates them that counts.
