High openness leaders encourage team innovation and welcome new ideas from employees. Low openness leaders provide clear structure and proven processes for their teams.

C is Conscientiousness - how organized, disciplined, and detail-oriented you are.
High conscientiousness leaders set clear expectations and follow up consistently with their people. Lower conscientiousness leaders give employees more autonomy and flexibility.
