In this paper we are going to do a comparative study of the various leadership traits, behaviors and styles of myself and my supervisor. This study is beneficial as it helps to analyze and learn what are the things I need to work on and make better. I am lucky to have a supervisor who is a great mentor and never stop sharing knowledge with us. Therefore, in this paper I have done a humble attempt to compare the leadership traits. It also gives me the opportunity to reflect on my role as a leader and what are the things that I need to learn.
