The survey that the group uses to assess managers is based on work by Harvard researchers George Litwin and Robert Stringer. The psychologists identified what they saw as the six most effective styles of leadership:

1. Coercive

Gains immediate compliance from employees. Bosses with this style give orders and take no refusals.
