From the Paper:

"Another strength is my ability to adjust my leadership style to the requirements of every situation . It is widely recognized in the business world that an integration of the various leadership styles is often necessary in order to optimally manage a team. The different personalities within a team for example need to be taken into account. Other factors that need to be considered in this regard include the specific situation and level of workers in each team. New workers for example need to be managed with a more authoritarian style than those with more experience. Experienced workers are placed in leadership positions, and more responsibility is delegated to them."
"Finally, one of my strengths in leadership, which could also be a weakness if not handled correctly, is my patience. I am extraordinarily patient, especially during times of stress. My concomitant ability to remain calm under the pressure of tight deadlines and stressful situations tends to communicate itself to the members of my teams."
