As this chart indicates, if you chose paragraphs 3 and 4, you are probably a CSA Leader/Follower Style 1 with the listed characteristics. If you selected paragraphs 2 and 4, you are likely a CSA Leader/Follower Style 9. You are able to learn your CSA Style (from 0 to 9) from the paragraph selections you made in the previous exercise.
If you want to learn more about
each of these Leader/Follower Styles and how to develop in order to be
able to lead or follow any Style different from yours, you may want to
purchase the book, SelfLeadership: Direction from
