I currently may have a stand-offish/negative outlook when it comes to change. To be a more effective leader I must will myself to maintain a positive disposition to a changing environment.

The threads of my leadership style have been influenced by my personal work experience and my time in practicum. Throughout my experiences I have been exposed to many different types of personal and corporate styles of leadership that I have been able to evaluate and reflect on to judge their effectiveness and take away key concepts that I have applied to my own leadership style. Chief among these is understanding the concept that over reaching change and improvement is a team effort that requires being open to input from all different members of the health care team. My personal philosophy of leader ship is heavily influenced by my bird type which is a dove. Doves tend to be natural team players that like to collaborate and work as a team towards a goal.

Leadership isn't for the faint of heart. There is a lot of responsibility involved. Plus, the success or failure of the work falls on the leader's shoulders. If a project or event was successful, the leader is praised. If the project was a failure, the leader is often viewed as a failure. If you're the leader of a company or would like to become a leader, it's best to know yourself well and identify who you are outside of the work you do.

Leadership style research has been conducted examining multiple variables and settings, but the review of literature shows a need for more analysis of how such styles are being viewed by teachers in both high poverty and low poverty settings. School climate differences also need further examination to determine if teachers perceive their school climate differently in high poverty and low poverty schools. Chapter three describes the sampling procedures, research methodology, instrumentation, data collection, data analysis and procedures for the study of leadership styles and school climate differences in schools of different poverty levels.

My leadership style assessed by the Kent tool is participative style of leadership. (University of Kent (n.d). Participative style of leadership is the type where the entire team works in collaboration. Each of the team members contributes their valuable ideas, but the final decision is made by the leader (University of Kent. (n.d). This is truly the leadership style that I love to exhibit.
