LSI Graph Coordinates and Chart Score Mix of Plotting Points Defining Style Most people usually display some behavior from each category. The intensity of each is important in defining the uniqueness of their leadership style. The highest plotting point is most representative. If two high points are equal, behaviors from both styles may be demonstrated depending upon the demands of the situation or the role the leader must fulfill. It is possible for anyone regardless of their highest plotting points to flex their style and demonstrate characteristics from each pattern with a conscious effort to do so. Highly effective leaders are capable of such flexibility. 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Enabler Influencer Driver Perfectionist Enabler The Enabler category describes leaders with helpful and encouraging styles.
