How to measure a manager’s leadership styles with management tools? Part 1

Two years ago, we wrote an article with Dr. Adrian Pyszka from the University of Economics in Katowice on how to measure managerial styles using my TransistorsHead.com managerial tools. We published this article as part of the XXV conference “INDUSTRY 4.0 A MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTION ENGINEERING” organized by the Polish Production Management Association, the Polish Innovation Management Association and the Production Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Why did we consider this topic important in the context of
