How to cope: Always ask their permission before doing anything and demonstrate that you are fulfilling their orders withe enthusiasm.

2 Bureaucratic
Profile: Got where they are today by following the rolus and see no reason to change now. Lack ability to take risks and take responsibility seriously. Problems dealt with by referring to the rulebook.
How to cope: By giving them the rules when a decision is necessary and submitting any requests in writing.

3. Charismatic
Profile: They motivate staff to achieve the company's goals rather than their own. They lead by personal example and they inspire loyalty. They are driven by the need to act for the company's greater good at the expense of personal desires.
How to cope: Be enthusiastic about their dreams and show that you, too, put the company first.

4. Consultative
Profile: Highly concerned about establishing and keeping close personal and emotional relationships. Likely to consult staff at every turn. Afraid of making solo decisions and prefer to share the burden of power.

5. Laissez-Faire
Profile: Make conscious decisions to leave the staff to get on with it, having observed that they are working well on their own. Probably assume people are working because they want to, and are self-motivated.
How to cope: By showing that you can be trusted to get on with it and send regular progress memos. Don't bother them with trivia.

6. Abdicatorial
