Leadership Metaphors: What Kind of Leader Are You?

Instructions:

• If your leadership style were a metaphor, what would it be? (e.g., “I am a lighthouse” or “I am a jazz conductor”)
• You will have 2 minutes to write your metaphor.
• Pair up or form small groups to share your metaphor and explain why it represents your leadership approach.
• As a group, we will discuss the common themes and how different leadership metaphors align with the Authoritative, Democratic, Transformational, and Transactional styles.
