Relational: For Relational leaders, people come first. These managers strive to keep their teams happy and in harmony. They are approachable and employ a “come with me” style of leadership. A Relational leader can be very good at building trust, respect and employee buy-in as a result of letting people have a say in the decisions of the company. In the business world, CEOs Sara Blakely of Spanx and Tony Hsieh of Zappos head wildly successful companies, but both are known for their even-keeled leadership and for engaging others in decision making.
