Are high-performing leaders typically driven and demanding, or are they more commonly collaboration-oriented servant leaders? Are high-performing leaders primarily focused on financials and metrics, or on people and culture? Do they make decisions based on data analysis or gut instinct?

A high-performance leader is someone who has the ability to drive change, execute with precision and generate results within a broad range of situations and environments. Like most effective leaders they have a deep knowledge base and broad set of skills, but the one unique characteristic they share is the ability to integrate (rather than balance) seemingly divergent perspectives and priorities.
