If on the LPI behavior I scored high then I am doing well, if I scored low then I need more practice. The outcome of the LPI for the behavior of challenging the process I scored low. Then on inspiring a shared vision, I scored high. On enabling others to act I scored high. Modeling the way I scored low and encouraging the heart, I scored high. Therefore my strengths of leadership are inspiring a shared vision and encouraging the heart. My weaknesses are challenging the process and modeling the way; however for my enabling other to act I was moderate. I chose four different people to take the LPI about me. The first a family member, I received a high score on challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, modeling the way, encouraging the heart.

I do lack time management. I have acknowledged that I do better when my time managing and organization is in order. I have also found that I dedicate all of my time and energy for other people and leaving no time for myself. I love self-help books, but have no time to read them. I often distance myself, from my family, and friends, because I have no time. People have called me cynical, and by observing my LPI score from others who surveyed my leadership, I agree. I feel that I am cynical because I am unhappy. How can I become a better leader when my optimistic performance and energy is

    As stated above, the LPI offered a unique opportunity to examine how I recognized myself as a supervisor and mentor. As a leader this survey glanced into how I saw myself; modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart. Equally important, it gave my supervisors, peers, and subordinates the same opportunity to give feedback from their perspective. A phrase often heard is, “You are your toughest critic”.

  • My Directive Leadership Theory: Participative Leadership

    1713 Words  | 4 Pages

    Directive leadership is characterized as leaders taking the decision into their own hands and expecting the followers to just follow the instructions. We all have been in one of those groups where someone wants to become Adolf and control everything, am I right? Last but not least, Participative Leadership, which is my favorite, in which the leader involves the group in a goal setting to give input and share feedback with one another. This next theory completely opened my eyes. The dependencies for effective leadership is defined as situations where a mix of factors the control and influence productivity. The contingency theory used LPC to measure a leader’s motivation, and task motivation vs relationship motivation. People who are relationship motivated have an inclination to describe their least favored associates in a more optimistic, pleasant and efficient, and they also received higher LPC scores. Task motivated people have a tendency to rate their least favored associates in a more negative manner. Thus, they receive lower LPC scores. Therefore, the LPC scale is actually not about the least desired coworker. In fact, it is actually about the person who takes the test, and this person 's motivation type. This got me thinking - what kind of LPC am I? Apparently my leader member relationship is good, my task structure was unstructured, and my leader position power is strong. Also , my LPC was Low. I don’t think of myself as the all-out leader, but I have some great followership in my opinion. I feel that leaders can lead more effectively when there is a match between your motivation type and the situation. These matches exist between a task and relationship motivated leader. When a leader and the situation does not match, many things have to be altered. Since

    For me to be an effective leader, I must first evaluate my strengths. I took the Gallup 2.0 Strength Finder report which showed my strengths in an insight and action planning guide. The results indicated the top five themes for me were input, learner, responsibility, maximizer and arranger. I believe the evaluation offered an accurate assessment of my strengths. The input theme states my mind is like a sponge, soaking up information. As a lifelong learner, the second theme is also, correct. I have a quest for knowledge about things that interest me.
