Their greatest fear is loss of popularity so not unusual for them to talk their way out of any situation for fear of rejection. When faced with problems I style leaders and coaches become active, verbal and persuasive. They respond actively to challenges and may try to reach an agreement. Great when you are seeking a win/win solution for the team. The energy and enthusiasm that is created by an I leader and coach is infectious and it's not unusual for them to have their fingers in every pie and will be juggling the balls. Some people may refer to them as magpies, always going after the shiny objects, however they will always hit a deadline and perform at their best when everything is last minute.
