From Jan. 24: Driven by their emotions, bad leaders react quickly to situations often without worrying about the facts or the repercussions of their actions, believing that they can always show good emotional intelligence by apologizing later.

From July 3: It's unwise to be a "one trick pony" when it comes to leadership. Rather, you need adaptable and have multiple leadership approaches at your disposal.
An "adaptable leadership style" is one that is flexible and rich enough to enable you to give your team exactly what it needs to be successful. The implication here is that you're aware of the work at hand and can recognize and anticipate what is required from you to make your team a success.
