TL;DR: In this article, the authors define synthesis as the opposite procedure: to combine separate elements or components in order to form a coherent whole, and every synthesis is built upon the results of a preceding analysis and every analysis requires a subsequent synthesis to verify and correct its results.

TL;DR: A fundamental part of self-awareness is understanding your disposition, or how you tend to perceive the world, behave, and respond to others, which can help you more effectively communicate and interact with others.
Abstract: A fundamental part of self-awareness is understanding your disposition, or how you tend to perceive the world, behave, and respond to others. Personality: Personality is an important aspect of disposition. It forms from birth through young adulthood and represents tendencies that are not easily changed. Given that, knowing how your personality traits are similar to and different from those around you can help you more effectively communicate and interact with others. Leadership: Leadership traits, on the other hand, are based on skills and attitudes rather than temperament alone. For this reason, leadership characteristics can be learned, developed, and honed through practice. Return to the Leading Self Toolkit. [2]

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2×2×2 factorial design was employed to examine the influence of instructed leadership style, sex of leader, and sex of followers on leader behavior, subordinate satisfaction, and productivity.
Abstract: A 2×2×2 factorial design was employed to examine the influence of instructed leadership style, sex of leader, and sex of followers on leader behavior, subordinate satisfaction, and productivity in a simple task. In general, male and female leaders were equally able and equally willing to display autocratic and democratic leadership styles if so instructed. Similarly, leader sex did not have a significant influence on subordinate satisfaction or productivity either by itself or in interaction with leadership style or follower sex.
