Fixed implies stability, unchangeability, and security.

{One manager could be relied upon to respond in the same way to every problem, issue, or situation. We stopped asking him for advice because his responses were predictably the same.}

Fluid means adaptable, changeable, and free-flowing.

{Another manager would listen and offer guidance on how to approach a problem, but rarely provided a direct solution. It was up to us to figure it out. His approach evolved with the nature of the problem after listening to the specifics. There wasn’t a problem too big or too small that he couldn’t navigate.}

In a constantly changing work environment, embracing a fluid approach to leadership significantly enhances your ability to adapt swiftly.

With a fixed leadership style, adapting to new situations or innovating may be difficult, potentially leading to stagnation or failure.
