The intent of this paper is to provide the reader with an understanding of the current primal leadership styles and emotional intelligence within my workplace.

Thus, telling people the direction they are heading towards, however, not how to get there, therefore, people are allowed to experiment, invent, and take risk. Moreover, people understand what is expected of them due to the clarity generated from understanding how a particular position fits into the big picture. Verschoor (2006), states “leaders in great workplaces help to build employees ' pride in their work and the work of the company” because “employees know that their jobs make a difference and people feel good about the company 's image” (pg.19).

Such leader’s help employees understand how their work fits into the collective task and more importantly why it matters.

Furthermore, assigning challenging tasks positively influences a person’s mood since it interrupts the redundancy and drives people beyond their abilities. The approach of this leadership style has a highly positive impact on the climate when used to help employees improve performance with the establishment of long-term competencies. However, when used inappropriately, the leader becomes a
