Leadership Style Self-Assessment Leaders are born, and not made in my opinion. In this assignment I will provide a comprehensive overview of the findings from a leadership style self-assessment that I used to help me gage what type of leader I am. The assessment tool I used consisted of 30 questions in which I circled a score between 1 and 5. 1 represented almost never true, 2 means seldom true, 3 is occasionally true, 4 is frequently true, and 5 meant almost always true. Once I was done answering
provided with a chance of showcasing my talent and skills. I want to lead a team using my leadership skills. Analysing my personality and skills, I have realised that I possess the qualities of a ‘transformational leader’. Khan and Ahmad (2012) stated that the transformational leaders motivate others and aim to take change initiatives to ensure improvement and enhancement. While working in teams, I have always emphasised on taking the lead and ensuring the implementation of innovative and creative
Leadership Styles “Leaders come in many forms, with many styles and diverse qualities.” (Gardner, 1993, p. 5) So what kind of leader am I? After taking an online assessment, How to find out your style of leadership (University of Kent, 2009), I discovered that I have strong tendencies toward being a Transformational Leader. Even though I can deviate from this leadership style if the need arises, it is important to learn more about it and address the questions, where is it usually employed, by
My approach with motivating a student to become successful is never the same. All students are capable of learning. Unfortunately, many learn at different paces, which may not be consistent with their current grade level or age group. I’ve learned to keep trying. Each student is different. The pace of their success is at different levels. I often had classrooms with the majority of the students performing below grade level and had behavior issues. According to Cushman (2014) educators lay the

As a field grade staff officer, I believe that one of the fundamental components to building a successful military career is the ability to solve problems in an environment that is evolving faster than Army doctrine can be written. To facilitate this success, the Army officer must embrace and master the skills of critical reasoning, creative thinking and continuous assessment of the situation. Employment of these tools will ensure that the mission executed will have the greatest probability
and goals. Focusing on student learning goals allows leaders to set high expectations and make rigorous standards (Guskey, 2000). Schools cannot function as a PLC until the staff has struggled through the questions that provide direction both for the school as an organization and the individuals within the organization (Eaker, DuFour, & DuFour, 2002). There are several organizational structures that work simultaneously to form a successful PLC. One part of the structure is setting the framework
(2009), a leader must be able to influence, motivate and empower others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization. The use of right leadership style is also paramount to influence the effectiveness of change in the organization. (Jenkins, 2009) Therefore, leadership self-assessment is an important tool for leaders to understand their personal leadership style, traits, characteristics, behaviours, and cognitions so that organizational change can be successful (Edmunds,
Introduction An important step to becoming an effective leader is to develop effective communication skills. Communication is the transmission of meaning from one person to another or to many people, whether verbally or non-verbally (Barrett, 2006). Effective communication enables leaders to lead. Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to covey. As a leader, studying the communication process is important. Communication
Leadership Assessment In organizations aspiring for growth and continual improvement, relationships are more intricate and alternatives more numerous than the either/or imposition implied by the notion of leaders and followers. Practically no one leads all of the time. Leaders also work as followers; all in all, “everyone uses a portion of their day following and another portion leading” (Galie and Bopst, 2006, p. 11). I find this to be very accurate, both in relation to my Leadership Assessment
