Your Bosses Leadership Style | 6 Life Path

Your Bosses Leadership Style | 6 Life Path

I received a request from a reader, asking about how to understand the style and traits of bosses by looking at the Life Path number.

(A shout-out to Chantel! Thanks for asking this question!)

Since I’ve not addressed this before, I thought I’d offer my take on it.

Not to complicate matters, yet I would also say, if you can find out the Expression (or Destiny) number of the person in question, that would be an even more complete way to understand leadership style.

(If, for some bizarre reason, you know both the Life Path and the Expression-Destiny number of your boss, read for both numbers to get a more expansive picture of your bosses leadership style).

Why?

Because the Expression-Destiny number indicates how you will go about doing what you do. It’s often a great gauge as to what kind of work or career you would be good at or will gravitate toward.

Knowing this aspect will give you an even clearer idea about leadership style than knowing just the Life Path. Although it’s fair to say that it might be much more challenging to discover the Expression-Destiny number of your boss or potential boss, given that it’s calculated from your full birth certificate name, not from your birth date.

With that said, let’s go!

6 Life Path: The Nurturing Visionary

The 6 boss is a visionary and someone who has a deep sense of duty and are also concerned about justice on a grand scale.  They are natural nurturers. Their gift can also be their Achilles Heel. The 6 is a perfectionist extraordinaire, an idealist, and has extremely high expectations for their own performance and also for your performance. They feel responsible for everyone and everything, so that can get a bit weighty and bleed into their management style. The 6 can be “soft and fuzzy,” yet if a boss, they can be almost impossible to please.

Style: The 6 Life Path is all about “home and family,” relationships, responsibility, and they thrive when being of service.  The 6 is an amazing manifestor and a creative force of nature. Their visionary and heart-centered service is at the core of the 6 Life Path boss. The only thing standing in their way is controlling perfectionism.  The 6 boss is ultimately a caretaker and learning to balance and modulate their overweening sense of responsibility.

What they want and need from YOU (whether they know it or not!):

• They need people who are high-achievers and can meet high-levels of expectation. Or alternately, the 6 boss can also take on people who they feel they can assist and train to become achievers — like becoming someone who fosters dogs prior to finding their “forever home.” (metaphorically speaking!)
• They expect loyalty, respect, and obedience from their team members.
• They want you to do what they ask of you — fully, completely, on time (if not early), and, well, perfectly. If you ever need to correct a 6 Life Path boss, make sure you offer a few compliments and acknowledgement first, then offer a corrective.

Traits:

• Caring and nurturing
• Creative and good with aesthetics
• Can be anxious and demanding
• Can be too accommodating
• Can be judgmental

Biggest Nemesis:  Self-righteousness and controlling perfectionism.

Think of:  Warren Buffet or Jennifer Lawrence

Ideal: The 6 Life Path boss is caring, creative, and focused on service. They care deeply about their team and prioritize people over profit. They’re loving, caring, and incredibly creative people who nurture the best in others.
