Details: Having studied leadership models as your VP suggested, you would like to sit down and discuss with her what you learned and whether you are prepared to lead your staff through the changes ahead. You want to be able to talk about what you think your natural leadership style is, whether she agrees, and how you fit to what will be needed for the tasks ahead.
To crystallize your thinking, write some notes describing your own leadership style. What are your strengths, and how can you apply them to the challenges facing you now? Take time to think about and document aspects of your leadership style that must be modified to address your situation at EEST/Ouest. Identify which leadership style you most closely resemble.
