Interesting differences in leadership styles, possibly between INFP vs INFJ
I’ve either been placed in leadership positions for random reasons, sometimes specific reasons and other times I’d see a ‘need’ and think “well SOMEBODY has to get things started” and so I would gather people together work on the thing I think was needed.
Things I think we have in common:
We govern with a light touch, allowing people do what-what-they-do
We know that people have natural/learned talents that they do best at / are happiest at / etc.
We can see patterns in groups
Differences may be:
I suspect you see “they are good for a task and can be useful in a certain role”
I see, “They seem to have a natural aptitude in this area and need to be placed in a proper position to allow for their growth in that area, if they choose to”
While we both operate with certainties, what we are certain ABOUT is likely different. [INFPs _appear_ uncertain but really aren’t; it’s just the things they are certain about simply “are-what-they-are” and present as “INFP is just being stubborn / won’t listen” but that’s their certainty in action
I don’t see myself as a good leader. I prefer not to lead. But when I’ve had to (there’s my certainty in action) – I would do it.
