Answer a few short questions and the tool below will advise how to maximise your personal Social Leadership style and get more from your team!
<section><h2><h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>WHAT TYPE OF SOCIAL LEADER ARE YOU? 🐶&nbsp;</strong></h2></h2></section><section><h2><h1><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Bernese Mountain Dog</span></strong></h1></h2><p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Bernese Mountain Dog you lead by example, grinding out good work whatever the weather, usually operating in a structured manner (you like to give and get clarity on &lsquo;the rules&rsquo;). Noisy little dogs who bark a lot but don&rsquo;t do much else - beware!<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span> </h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Rarely posts primary content to the newsfeed or starts new group conversations. However, extremely reliable (and usually quick - even at anti-social hours) with replies to directly addressed content. Will typically seek clarification whenever the leader&rsquo;s attention or action is required - often &lsquo;breaking out&rsquo; of group chats into 1:1 conversations.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Remember that, in the Social Leadership world, your team won&rsquo;t pick up your quiet, reassuring presence like they do in physical encounters or on video calls. You don&rsquo;t have to fake extroversion by forcing yourself to post videos to the whole-company newsfeed or starting random new group chats, but your wider team will appreciate your calm, practical contributions if you share them in places with maximum distribution - for example, in news comments or group conversations.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Try to resist muting group conversations too quickly. Whilst your practical nature might make you a little intolerant of endless &lsquo;brainstorming&rsquo; or idle chatter, you will often be the best person in the team to turn resolutions into tangible actions and hold the participants accountable for delivery thereafter.</span></p><span style="font-size:12px;"></span><br /></p></section><section><h3><h1><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Newfoundland</span></strong></h1></h3><p><h3></h3><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Newfoundland (immortalised as &ldquo;Nana&rdquo;, the family dog in Peter Pan), beneath your kind and gentle charisma lies a cast-iron will to defend your people. Colleagues at all levels think of you as a reliable companion for their career journeys - and may even consider you a friend outside work due to your genuine concern for their wellbeing, willingness to invest time and ability to listen. You are excellent at getting things done, proving that nice girls/guys do not always finish last!<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Rarely posts primary content to the newsfeed and doesn&rsquo;t often start new group conversations. Extremely reliable (and usually quick - even at anti-social hours) with replies to directly addressed content. Owing to this type of leader&rsquo;s high emotional intelligence and practical desire to solve problems, can usually be relied on to contribute fully to group conversations about issues and their resolution and also takes time to &lsquo;circle back&rsquo; with participants 1:1 afterwards to ensure different personality types felt heard and are satisfied with the chosen outcome.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Remember that, in the Social Leadership world, your team won&rsquo;t pick up your quiet, reassuring presence like they do in physical encounters or on video calls. You don&rsquo;t have to fake extroversion by forcing yourself to post videos to the whole-company newsfeed or starting random new group chats, but your wider team will appreciate your calm, practical contributions if you share them in places with maximum distribution - for example, in news comments or group conversations.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Use the fact that you are blessed with both organisational skills and emotional intelligence to develop new Social Leaders within your team to indirectly increase your influence. For example, use data dashboards to identify outgoing colleagues across the organisation (i.e. newsfeed posts and new group chat creation) and consider coaching them to use those characteristics to promote your desired culture and operating strategies far and wide.</span><br /><br /></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Greyhound</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like a Greyhound chasing the hare, you are tireless in pursuit of new ideas when they capture your imagination. You pursue projects with quiet, relentless, precision and generally prefer to avoid conflict where you can. Colleagues are likely to find you thoughtful and inspiring - perhaps even a little &lsquo;mystical&rsquo;!<br /></span><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Generally won&rsquo;t post &lsquo;video selfies&rsquo; to the newsfeed, but will post pictures and links as required to ensure ideas or plans are heard. Highly emotionally intelligent and quick to grasp new concepts, may create new group conversations more frequently than other leader types to solicit opinions on (or gather support for) new ideas. A sensitive soul, will usually &lsquo;like&rsquo; other people&rsquo;s posts persistently (perhaps indiscriminately) to make colleagues feel good about themselves. Will typically have a large number of 1:1 conversations live at any given time.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">The Greyhound personality type sometimes has trouble opening up and is also prone to perfectionism. This can make it hard to reach colleagues as an accessible, authentic social leader (because, for example, it&rsquo;s almost impossible for most of us to record a &lsquo;perfect&rsquo; video update). A top tip for this personality type therefore is to set some personal rules to try to overcome these habits - forcing yourself to post a video after no more than 3 takes, no matter what.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:12px;">Additionally (or at worst, alternatively), use the fact that you are blessed with both organisational skills and emotional intelligence to develop new Social Leaders within your team to indirectly increase your influence. For example, use data dashboards to identify outgoing colleagues across the organisation (i.e. newsfeed video posts) and consider coaching them to use those characteristics to promote your ideas far and wide.<br /></span><p>&nbsp;</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Afghan Hound</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the world&rsquo;s most glamorous dog - the Afghan Hound - you often earn the admiration of those around you without really trying. You are informed, curious, determined and independent - sometimes perhaps even a little aloof.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Colleagues can rely on you to coolly and thoughtfully solve a wide range of problems. You find it fairly easy and rewarding to master new topics, systems and processes.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">The signature of this type of Social Leader is highly selective participation in content - often muting group conversations extensively, but then vigorously participating in debates when @ mentioned or a topic catches the imagination. This type of leader feels no moral obligation to comment on or like other people&rsquo;s content unless it is genuinely engaging (and may not bother even then!). Comfortable creating content to get a point across to colleagues, although will usually prefer text to video or infographics.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Despite your natural preference for facts and logic, try showing more emotion in your leadership activities. For example, review your social leadership activity data regularly and check that you are commenting on and reacting to &lsquo;cultural&rsquo; content - and not just occupying your comfort zone of advising and debating on hard topics.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Also try to make a habit of checking in with colleagues 1:1 (or on a small-group basis) from time to time when you don&rsquo;t need anything from them. Many will appreciate such an &lsquo;irrationally kind&rsquo; gesture coming from their usually cool and aloof leader!</span><br /><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Basset Hound</span>&nbsp;</strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the cartoon basset hound &ldquo;Droopy&rdquo;, your quiet, wandering nature can lull people into underestimating your quick wit and adaptability. You excel at mastering new systems and processes (which you usually then hand over to someone else before boredom sets in!). Although colleagues know not to expect grand displays of affection from you, they love having you around because of your relaxed and optimistic view of the world.</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">This personality type shows few discernable patterns in Social Leadership usage data. Typically posts and messages randomly and sparingly. This leader&rsquo;s wicked sense of humour may lead to an unusually high ratio of likes to comments (i.e. colleagues are more inclined to respond). Basset Hounds often make great leaders for the launch of a new platform, as they enjoy mastering new functionality and understanding data dashboards etc.</span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Share your quiet charisma! Like a great comedian, you can bring a new energy to otherwise mundane situations with your shrewd observations and relaxed style. In high pressure situations, you can be a cultural anchor amongst more &lsquo;outgoing&rsquo; personalities who might otherwise get carried away. Look out for regular opportunities to share your unique perspective in comments to news posts and replies to group messages. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to occasionally also push yourself with a news contribution of your own - if you don&rsquo;t want to talk about yourself or your ideas, you can share articles or videos which have captured your interests or neatly summarise your perspective.<br /><br /></span></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Saint Bernard</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Saint Bernard (immortalised in the popular 90&rsquo;s movie, &ldquo;Beethoven&rdquo;), you have a gentle, adventurous and playful nature which is hard not to love. Colleagues can rely on you for creative solutions and, whilst you generally prefer to get work done individually rather than collaboratively (in order to avoid team tension and rigid planning), people find you charming and fun to be around.</span><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p><span style="font-size:12px;">Generally won&rsquo;t post video or picture selfies to the newsfeed, but will share ideas and creative output with the team or relevant colleagues when appropriate. Can usually be relied on to read and &lsquo;like&rsquo; other people&rsquo;s posts and messages. May keep unusual hours compared with more structured colleagues (more likely to read and reply late at night or early in the morning).</span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Remember that, in the Social Leadership world, your team won&rsquo;t pick up your quiet, friendly presence like they do in physical encounters or on video calls. You don&rsquo;t have to fake extroversion by forcing yourself to post videos to the whole-company newsfeed or starting random new group chats, but your wider team will appreciate your contributions when you share them in places with maximum distribution - for example, in news posts and group conversations. Never forget, your personality type is typically one of the most creative in any organisation!<br /></span></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Tibetan Terrier</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Tibetan Terrier, your sweet, sensitive nature makes you the perfect companion for colleagues at challenging times. You are generous, open-minded, creative and always ready to help a good cause. Your passionate idealism also makes you a reliable ally for visionaries and innovators.<br /></span><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Generally won&rsquo;t post video selfies to the newsfeed, but may often share recognition moments (ie taking initiative to post, but drawing attention to others instead of self).&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Can usually be relied on to read and &lsquo;like&rsquo; other people&rsquo;s posts and messages. May keep unusual hours compared with more structured colleagues (more likely to read and reply late at night or early in the morning).</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Highly emotionally intelligent and skilled at influencing others, may create new group conversations or start 1:1 conversations more frequently than other leader types to solicit opinions on (or gather support for) passion projects or ideas.<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">As one of the most naturally &lsquo;likeable&rsquo; leader types, you likely are already skilled at reacting and engaging with other people&rsquo;s social content. Generally, your persona&rsquo;s greatest challenge is follow-through (i.e. you spend so much time attending to the emotional needs of others, it can be easy to become distracted with your own tasks at hand). A top Social Leadership tip for your personality type is to allocate regular time &lsquo;offline&rsquo; to plan your calendar in advance and write down your personal objectives. This may help you day-to-day in balancing making colleagues feel good with proactive actions for your own account.<br /></span></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Husky</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Husky, you are fiercely independent, adaptable and quick to action. You have an unquenchable thirst for &lsquo;the facts&rsquo; and the analytical skills to find and process them before others. Your free-thinking spirit makes you an excellent innovator, but you don&rsquo;t always take enough time to bring colleagues with you. You can sometimes be impatient with those who can&rsquo;t think as quickly and insensitive towards those who prioritise feelings over facts!<br /></span> <h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Posts news, creates group conversations and reacts to others&rsquo; content only when genuinely engaged, which makes it difficult to generalise usage data patterns for this personality type. Husky&rsquo;s are generally comfortable sharing ideas, but doesn&rsquo;t always take the time to give colleagues&rsquo; sufficient background or context and can be impatient with &lsquo;debate&rsquo;, which may show up in a low reply or comment ratio when others engage with a Husky&rsquo;s own content.</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Try to resist switching off (i.e. muting or ignoring) when colleagues&rsquo; don&rsquo;t immediately &lsquo;get&rsquo; your ideas. Whilst your action-oriented nature might make you a little intolerant of debate, you will make a bigger impact when you take time to bring people with you.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Also, despite your natural preference for facts and logic, try showing more emotion in your leadership activities. For example, review your social leadership activity data regularly and check that you are commenting on and reacting to &lsquo;cultural&rsquo; content. Take time to check in with colleagues 1:1 (or on a small-group basis) from time to time when you don&rsquo;t need anything from them. Use your endless curiosity to search for inspiration for your next innovation!</span><br /><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Jack Russell</span><span style="font-size:12px;"></span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the mischievous Jack Russell, you&rsquo;re often the most energetic member of a team. You&rsquo;re also a solid reader of people, which allows you to inspire many different personality types to go along with your many adventures.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:12px;">Your natural sassiness translates well into compelling communications and content. But, despite the fact that people are naturally drawn to your charisma, you are not a &lsquo;soft&rsquo; person who panders to others&rsquo; feelings. An internal logic usually underpins your seemingly random adventures!<br /></span><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Usually an active and capable Social Leader across all the main activity types - posting news and picture content company or team-wide, starting new or responding to others&rsquo; group and 1:1 chats naturally. More charismatic than emotionally intelligent, the Jack Russell may experience a wider than normal variance in colleague engagement levels (occasionally &lsquo;putting a foot in it&rsquo; with an ill timed observation or comment). Usually acts on instinct, which may show up in posts made way outside of normal hours.</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1>Try to remember to take a breath before replying to colleagues&rsquo; content in jest (as you may often be tempted to do), as your ability to mix red hot charisma with ice cold logic can hurt the feelings of those with more sensitive dispositions. If you are in a senior position, encourage your team to set their own notification preferences to protect their desired work-life-balance and communication styles, thereby making it easier for them to keep up with your more impulsive work and communication patterns.<br /></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Cockapoo</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the fun and fashionable Cockapoo, you are often the life and soul of the party. You are spontaneous, charming and you love making others happy.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">You generally don&rsquo;t love assignments that require deep focus or excessive structure and process. However, you are bold and loyal, stepping up and into new situations where other colleagues might be too timid to do so!<br /></span></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Usually an active and capable Social Leader across all the main activity types - posting news and picture content company or team-wide, starting new or responding to others&rsquo; group and 1:1 chats naturally. Can be relied on to read and &lsquo;like&rsquo; other people&rsquo;s posts and messages. May keep unusual hours compared with more structured colleagues (more likely to read and reply late at night or early in the morning). Likely enjoys a very high reaction to content ratio, due to an intense focus on reading colleagues' needs and creating content accordingly.</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">As one of the most naturally &lsquo;popular&rsquo; leader types, you likely are already skilled at creating your own content as well as reacting and engaging with other people&rsquo;s social content. Generally, your persona&rsquo;s greatest challenge is consistency (i.e. you spend so much time entertaining others, it can be easy to forget to focus on mundane but critical day to day actions). A top tip for this personality type is to ensure you&rsquo;re making regular time to review relevant data to check that your team or organisation is on track (looking, for example, for pockets of disengagement which might not be obvious based on your personal interactions alone).<br /></span></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Golden Retriever</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Golden Retriever, you are a warm, playful and exciting free spirit who&rsquo;s easy for all personality types to bond with.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Whilst you might struggle with organisation and forecasting (owing to your restless energy and boundless optimism), your enthusiasm and strong communications skills usually allow you to succeed in leadership endeavours, with the support of a well-balanced team</span><br /></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Usually an active and capable Social Leader across all the main activity types - posting news and picture content company or team-wide, starting new or responding to others&rsquo; group and 1:1 chats naturally.

Generally, your persona&rsquo;s greatest challenge is follow-through (i.e. you spend so much time attending to the emotional needs of others, it can be easy to become distracted with your own tasks at hand). A top Social Leadership tip for your personality type is to allocate regular time &lsquo;offline&rsquo; to plan your calendar in advance and write down your personal objectives. This may help you day-to-day in balancing making colleagues feel good with proactive actions for your own account. As this personality type is prone to making decisions by &lsquo;gut feel&rsquo; it is wise to make time for calm reflection on underlying data to supplement gut instincts.</span><p>&nbsp;</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Bull Terrier</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Bull Terrier, you are a tough yet lovable leader. You excel at collecting and processing information, which makes it easy for you to come to informed opinions quickly. You are rarely &lsquo;pushed&rsquo; into compromise or alternate viewpoints thanks to a mischievous stubborn streak. You are charismatic and enjoy persuading and being persuaded - provided those who seek to debate you fight you with facts rather than feelings!</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Usually an active and capable Social Leader across all the main activity types - posting news and picture content company or team-wide, starting new or responding to others&rsquo; group and 1:1 chats naturally. More charismatic than emotionally intelligent, the Bull Terrier may experience a wider than normal variance in colleague engagement levels. Due to this personality type&rsquo;s love of debating, likely to show elevated levels of participation in comment threads and group chats, particularly in short bursts (i.e. when arguing a point!)</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Try to remember to take a breath before replying to colleagues&rsquo; content with a contrary opinion (as you may often be tempted to do), as you may inadvertently reduce your influence if colleagues come to think of you as someone who argues for fun. When you do take a contrary position to a colleague on an idea, consider whether it might be better to arrange a physical or video meeting to walk them through your point. If you are dealing with a more sensitive personality type, you might find that non-verbal communication (i.e. a smile) persuades them in a way that a factual text reply does not!</span><p>&nbsp;</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Sheepdog</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the SheepDog, you are a supreme motivator and organiser of others. Loyal, structured and hardworking, you&rsquo;re comfortable taking responsibility and telling hard truths when people need to hear them.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Whilst colleagues might occasionally roll their eyes at your perceived inflexibility or stubbornness, they generally trust you to do what you think is right and best for the team.<br /></span><br /></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Likely to be the most frequent poster of team announcements, opinion polls and creator of new conversations. Tends also to have very consistent usage (active at least 5/7 days on average and tends to engage at roughly the same times on predictable days)</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">The SheepDog is generally a capable manager, but less comfortable leading in uncertainty. If this is your personality type, try to ensure that you balance administrative actions and content with strategic contributions. For example, posting a video update outlining organisational plans for a forthcoming off site meeting may be in your comfort zone, but could you do a trading update outlining an emerging competitive threat and soliciting creative team input to overcome the challenge?<br /></span><br /></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Great Dane</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Great Dane, immortalised in the 70&rsquo;s cartoon Scooby Doo, you are an immensely caring and popular member of your gang. Although you dislike confrontation, you&rsquo;re alert to risks and always ready to leap to action.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Colleagues appreciate your great sense of duty and often rely on you to hold the team together. It&rsquo;s common for your personality type to be the one who arranges birthday cards and socials, for example.</span><br /></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Generally risk averse and organised, you usually enable rather than lead innovation.<br /></span><br /></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Typically high activity levels across all content types. Likely makes an effort to engage in more 1:1 conversations with people working in different teams than other personality types. Depending on team make up, may be the creator of a number of low activity group conversations (where colleagues are not as committed to team togetherness as the Great Dane).</span><p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Top Tips for you to succeed as a Social Leader</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">Understand that your personality type tends to place a higher importance on team togetherness than other personality types, so try not to over-analyse the number of replies and reactions your activities generate from colleagues!</span><br /><p>&nbsp;</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">Boxer</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the Boxer Dog&rsquo;s excitable drool, you&rsquo;re overflowing with charisma and enthusiasm.

Revisit your organisation&rsquo;s stated values (hopefully they are written down somewhere!) and try to focus your attention on projects which align with explicitly or implicitly shared values. This increases the likelihood that colleagues will be receptive to your content and decreases the risk of coming across condescending!</span><p>&nbsp;</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><span style="font-size:28px;">German Shepherd</span></strong></h2></h3><p><h2></h2><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Description</span></h1><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">Like the world-famous Police Dog, you are intelligent, strong-willed, disciplined, resourceful and inspiring.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12px;">You likely come across as a natural leader and colleagues accordingly tend to defer to you in times of uncertainty or trouble. However, watch out for potential clashes with individuals who are particularly sensitive or creative. Those colleagues may find your self-assured, logical approach to be dominating, impatient - maybe even ruthless or arrogant. With great power of personality comes great responsibility!</span><br /><span style="font-size:12px;"></span><br /></p><h1><span style="font-size:24px;">Your Social Leadership style</span></h1><span style="font-size:12px;">A capable Social Leader, comfortably creating content to get points across to colleagues.
