In this article, the author outlines the six leadership styles Daniel Goleman first introduced in his 2000 HBR article, “Leadership That Gets Results,” and explains when to use each one.

The ruling not only makes non-competes illegal, but it also requires employers to to inform employees with existing non-competes that they are null and void.
