There are no patterns or established models to be a good leader, although there are different types of leaders that we can define as styles.
Each style has both positive and negative characteristics; it is not so important what style is used, what’s important is the style that belongs to us, that it is consistent with what we are.
A MIX of different styles characterizes a good leader.
Each manager can be successful with his/her own management style, but it has to be his/her style, or rather the one which matches his/her personality. Collaborators compensate the differences in management styles, bringing those who guide them to success.
Organizations survive because most people do everything to keep things going with any kind manager.
