A caretaker is one who wants stability and security, avoiding change at any cost. Preparers tend not to be flexible, always following an agenda or plan. A supervisors personality is very important in being a good leader. Employees are likely to react more easily to a supervisor that has a ready smile and is warm and outgoing. This will show that you can relate the employee and in turn the employee will feel more comfortable and be more motivated.
Empowerment is also a key aspect in providing motivation and direction to others.
Empowerment is exercising control based on results. It is endowing others with the power required to perform a given act. Also, empowering followers tends to enhance and strengthen leaders. Remember its not what you say, but how you say it. Leaders can be brief and specific in their communication if they eliminate disclaimers and apologies, and if they reduce the unnecessary details and explanations.
