Today, we introduce a mini-series on the four types of leaders. The four types are abdicating, liberating, protective, and dominating, with this episode focusing on the protective leader. We discuss how protective leaders are supportive and relational, but may struggle with communicating expectations, deadlines, and challenges. We also mention how important finding the balance between support and challenge is for leaders. The next episode will focus on the dominating leader and how finding the balance is a real-world problem and a lot of weight for leaders. Through our conversation, we touch on the importance of effective communication, setting boundaries, expectations, and deadlines. Tune in for valuable insights on leadership styles and the importance of serving others.

Topics Discussed:

- Abdicating, liberating, protective, and dominating leadership styles

- Characteristics of a protective leader

- Importance of balancing encouragement and challenge

- Effective communication, setting boundaries, expectations, and deadlines
