Self Assessment Of Leadership Behavior

In this journal, I will discuss my strength skills and skill that I would need to make growth in. Then I will discuss strategies I can use to enhance my group leadership skills that I need growth in.

In their infancy, my problem solving skills were limited to seeking out guidance and having others assist with resolving conflict. As a young sergeant, I remember allowing conflict to brew around me instead of confronting issues. This served no purpose, and caused the work environment and team morale to decline. During my three years at United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), I had multiple analytic and leadership disagreements with colleagues. I learned that through open discussion and communication a majority of conflicts could be resolved immediately. As a platoon sergeant, I handle conflict between soldiers, peers, and leadership regularly. I employ tact, patience, and understanding in order to help the involved parties to overcome their

B&H Photo and Electronics, was founded by husband and wife duo Blimie and Herman Schreiber (B & H) in 1973. The only store, which is located on 34st in Manhattan New York, provides professional services and equipment needs to many customers and businesses.

The “new” leadership driver self-assessment tool was mostly accurate in evaluating my leadership style. I found that the overall scores in the four categories reflected my strengths. The tool also pinpointed specific points regarding my leadership abilities.

My time in the military has shown me that I have a need for order and discipline. I want to instill this trait into my subordinates and affectively give them the tools to succeed and complete the mission both home and abroad. I lead from the front and never leave those willing to strive for betterment. My plan involves completing my degree and obtaining the knowledge level needed to effectively take care of and train my replacements in true values, pride in ownership and family values. A stepping stone is that anyone can learn from anyone, even if it’s what not to do. I challenge myself to right all the wrong styles of leadership that I have experienced throughout my career and be that exception to the policy/good ole boy club members. The Air Force can change with assistance from those willing to make the change. I have given blood for my countries ideals and know I will give my every effort to help produce the most capable and experience airmen for the purpose set by our CINC. I

Strong and effective leadership is one of the most significant factors in determining the success and durability of an organization or group (Huber, 2014). A health care professional that is able to identify their own style of leadership can develop their unique characteristics and skills and become a better leader, as well as develop and improve relationships with other leaders and colleagues (Giltinane, 2013). In this paper, I will discuss my style of leadership based on the completed self-assessment and describe what leadership and management theories align with my leadership style. I will also discuss the type of work environment and three key actions or behaviors that I must demonstrate to be a successful leader.

During this past week, I completed my leadership traits assessment and tallied the results from my friends and coworkers. This process was interesting because it has been several years since I have completed an activity like this one. My results were as follows, I received my highest ratings in being persistent, determined, trustworthy, dependable, friendly, diligent, and conscientious. On the other hand, my lowest scores are in self-confident, self-assured, and perceptive. These results were not surprising to me because they are developmental opportunities that I have been working to overcome. It was good to see that what my results are consistent with what I already knew.

By taking both self-assessments I learned that my leadership style is Authoritarian Leadership (Autocratic). Being an authoritarian leader I can be bossy at times but I set a clear standard on what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how it needs to be done. In a government ran by an autocratic leader, you can clearly see the divide between the leader and the followers and you can tell that the leader takes control over all of the followers. As an authoritarian leader, I like to make decisions on my own without the help or considering the concerns of my peers.

I scored an eighty-seven (87) on the How Good Are Your Leadership Skills? Self-assessment quiz, which rated my skills as excellent. This score was not surprising to me because I’ve worked hard to become the best leader possible, and leading people is something I enjoy. Motivating people to achieve or surpass a particular goal is rewarding to me.

During my relatively short time with my present company compared to that of many of my colleagues I have seen numerous changes in the senior management structure that has resulted in differing styles of leadership over the years from Autocratic to

Looking at data form the 2011 Canadian Election Study, this essay discusses the impact that leader traits and issues opinions have on evaluations of the three major party leaders. Bases on previous research, we expected to find that traits would have the largest impacts on leader evaluations, while issues would also have an impact, but a smaller one. Also based on previous research we expected that while there would be issues impacting the leader evaluations, the issues that mattered would vary between leaders. Using three multivariate regression models, we compared the relative impacts that of the issues and traits, while also controlling for ideology, being a Quebecer and if the

In this review, my own organization’s leadership capabilities and performance will be assessed. This review will be based on Computime Ltd organizational structure and I will be showing my own understanding of the leadership styles within the organisation, reviewing the effectiveness of my own leadership skills but also discuss the adoption of an effective leadership style to motivate staff to finally meet the organizational values and goals.

With my interest in mind, I read the exploratory study on ideal leadership behavior published by the journal of police sciences and management, published in 2010. The article surveyed 126 police supervisors who attended a Southern police institute in 2007 for the ideal characteristics they would like in a supervisor (Andreescu & Vito, 2010).

During the past ten weeks, I have strengthened my concept of what constitutes effective leadership. Importantly, it is a leadership style that maximises the contributions of followers to achieve the desired outcomes for the organisation they represent. As Nanjundeswaraswamy & Swamy (2014, p.57) explains, effective leaders need to balance the drive to achieve a task with managing relationships. Therefore, it is essential for good leadership to not only focus on the task but develop, motivate and empower team members to strive for the achievement of task goals.

Becoming a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) in the United States Air Force is a very significant milestone within an Airman’s career. Achieving such honor builds confidence, pride, and commitment. For those who step into the role as an NCO quickly find out leadership is more complex than just sewing rank onto a uniform. I’ve recognized that the type of leader I am currently is considered being Management by Exception-Passive (MBE-P). Being MBE-P my leadership approach is based on the motto of “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” I am an individual who will holds his subordinates and peers accountable for their actions if standards aren’t being met. My leadership approach is more reactive than proactive. My leadership style is also defined as
