More results-oriented and relationship-oriented? Be honest with the enclosed list

Are you more results-oriented or relationship-oriented? Be honest with the list below:

Results Oriented                                                            

Take charge, decisive
Introverted, focused
High standards, task oriented
Challenging, speaks directly
Logical, organized
Skeptical

Relationship Oriented

Encouraging, supportive
Trusting
Good listener

Develops others

The key is better balance with both. Here are 5 Tips:

How do you gain a better balance? First, accept the fact that most of your strengths are natural—we are born with them and naturally out of balance.  
Results-oriented leaders need to soften up. It takes intentional courage for a thick-skinned, results-oriented person to be a good leader and do these “people” things that are so important.
Relationship-oriented leaders need to toughen up. Casting a stretch vision and conducting difficult conversations is essential to keep the organization and individual team members moving ahead toward successful execution.
Small changes pay big returns. No matter which side of the balance scales you’re on, adapting new behaviors on your weak side even at small levels will lead to significant improvements.
It takes courage to change. You cannot become a better leader by reading books and going to workshops. You have to change your behaviors; there is no other way.
Take the first step. Do one thing today to move towards a better balance.
