Understanding Affects of Style on Board Leadership
Ideas-articulated differently—remain open to differences
Communication-different ways to receive and process information
Decision Making-based on logic or values—firm, objective, or humane, subjective
Planning-deadline oriented or option oriented
Participation-dynamic, involved or reflective, quiet
Strategic Outlook-near future or visionary
Building A “Leadership” ProfileWhy is this important:
Preferences are the foundation of our lives
Builds a foundation of understanding of how your preferences as a leader can promote higher board effectiveness
Facilitates deliberate questioning of an opposite view
Encourages all directors to open up and participate
Provides a clear framework against which directors can judge their own reactions and contributions
Promotes better communication with the nominating committee—what to look for—interview for
Promotes decisions that “feel complete” vs. “feels right”

Receiving Information Those who prefer Sensing (S), take in information through their
five senses.
Those who prefer iNtuiting (N) - use their five senses to take in information, but they make the added jump and use a sixth sense to see all the possibilities or meaning of the information.
Intuitors are interested in the “big picture”, charts, graphs, bored easily, trends, grouping
Sensors want details, “nitty-gritty”, impatient, step-by-step
