Personal note: If it helps at all, I'm a fan of servant leadership, and I'm going into a management field that specifically serves other people. I'm a tech person and in ministry. I took this course because it was a requirement for my degree and I hoped to learn more about myself by taking it. I learned in this course that management styles have to be adaptable to where you are. I will focus more on people than on processes. I hope my employees will notice. My personality type is INFP (Mediator)  References: The books are mentioned as a source. Those books are:  Self-Leadership The Definitive Guide to Personal Excellence Christopher P. Neck, Charles C.
