These behavioral traits are essential in being a successful leader. Organizations need leaders that can work with their employees, build team work and be open to new ideas, (Lawler, 2003).

I believe the assessment is accurate its scoring, as I like to provide more structure and direction to my followers, by organizing their work and giving them definitive responsibilities and instructions. However, I also consider myself to be a warm leader who can motivating and encourage followers while also building up confidence and trust. It is important for a leader to be able to have a balance of both technical and relationship skill.

The characteristic determines whether the person is going to be a great leader or not. The aspect of compassion, believing, and moving others to achieve their goal is what makes a leader.

Leaders lead by example, to become a transformation leader, I have to be a good example and a role model to my team members. I have to learn to mentor and coach team members to be successful in their endeavors and also to be leaders. I have to set standards and live by this standard, my team members should aspire to be like me.When team members don’t trust the leader, the team tends to be less productive. To be a transformational leader, I have to earn the trust of my team members before I can transform them. I can achieve this by being consistent, honest and always keep to my words.

I believe good leaders have the desire and willpower to become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience.

As a leader, some of their responsibilities are to empower, mentor, and network. Leaders who empowers others encourages others to rise above, and let them feel strengthened, and in control (Grossman & Valiga, 2009). Mentoring is guiding a less experienced individual whom they see potential to move the profession ahead by helping them develop a clearer professional identity, and fostering their growth personally and professionally (Grossman & Valiga, 2009). Another important role as a leader is networking.

The challenge of leadership is being able to respond to the diversity of today’s society. It is important to be able to interact with followers and develop an alliance in order to achieve goals. A leader must be willing to take risks and explore opportunities for improvement and growth. By delegating and giving others responsibilities, it rewards their accomplishments or provides a learning experience for mistakes. People who recognize the value of individual freedom in addition to working hard using their own leadership skills and understanding to influence others will find a stronger character within themselves.
