I have a great boss who I have a lot of respect for and one I really work very well with. He has a track record for getting things done, he is very supportive of his staff including me and he is a very hard worker. We also have different communication and leadership styles. In general, I interpret his style as more direct and task oriented. My style is more relationship oriented and more participatory/facilitator. I am not really quite sure why our styles are so different. It could be just our personalities or maybe because of our cultural backgrounds.
