With the manure-stench of leadership campaigning in the air, I know a thing or two about leadership styles and behaviours.
Over 40 years, I have worked for 40 bosses. Neat, but true. I have worked for some idiots and numpties, many an ego, some harmless average managers, only one female and just two people I revere to this day. But I'll not bore you with too many details (unless anyone wants to commission a piece - see above) but I will share my one word appraisals of the 40.
