YES! It does. It has worked for generations. (It’s not the most effective or productive method though)
Do people make a conscious CHOICE to lead in a specific way?
Yes…and no. Many people UNDERSTAND that they could lead differently. Personal taste, how they learned, ego, insecurities, and a host of other factors come into play.
Why would someone CHOOSE a dominant, transactional style of leadership?
Fear of looking weak.Not understanding how it impacts others.It could be the style that they PERSONALLY prefer to work under.Insecure about trusting others.It could be many reasons, and not all are purposefully damaging.

If a leader is providing supportive feedback and providing recognition for accomplishments….isn’t that a GOOD THING?
