What is the Warrior leadership style? It is to be prepared, strategic, and always have a plan (or two or three). People are inspired to follow the Warrior because they know the Warrior plans for success, and if anything goes wrong, they trust the Warrior will find the way through the situation.
This is in contrast to the leadership style of the Crusader. The Crusade inspires others with their grand vision, their passion, and their absolute unwillingness to accept defeat. People follow the Crusader because they are inspired and want to be part of a movement, something bigger than themselves. One of the Crusader's potential challenges is that same unwillingness to accept defeat, even when the outcome may be obvious.
Back to the Warrior though, the strengths may be clear but what of the lesser strengths, or the challenges that this archetype typically faces? The Warrior often has challenges with being extremely competitive. The Warrior does not like to lose, and might be not only less than gracious in defeat, they may also be less than gracious in triumph as well.
Which of these traits catches your attention? Is it the leadership style, or one of the strengths or lesser strengths that your inner guidance calls you to focus on? There is no right or wrong thing to focus on, it’s simply a choice.
