Plot your final scores on the graph below by drawing a horizontal line from the approximate people score (vertical axis)
to the right of the matrix, and drawing a vertical line from the approximate task score on the horizontal axis to the top of
the matrix. Then, draw two lines from each dot until they intersect. The area of intersection is the leadership dimension
that you operate out of.

Example:

The above sample shows score of 4 in the people section and a score of 6 in the task section. The quad where the
two lines intersect is the leadership style, in this case -- Authoritarian section.

"The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born --that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth
asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That is nonsense; in fact, the opposite is
true. Leaders are made rather than born" - Warren Bennis
