From a visionary to a commander, there are different types of bosses. By understanding the leadership style of your manager, you'll be able to work with them better and create a path for success.

If your boss is a "visionary," then they're likely dreaming big things but having trouble acting on their thoughts. To assist this type of leader, help them understand their goal and create a clear path to achieving it.

Another type of boss is a "coach." This person likes to motivate and push employees to reach their maximum potential. When working with them, it's important to be honest, realistic and straightforward.

If you've got a "pacesetter" for a boss, a person who likes to set challenges for their employees and expects the best outcomes, you should be prepared to work extremely hard and constantly update your boss on your progress.
