There are three styles of leadership have been used to describe leaders in certain situations. I can be able to use the most of my skills if I have full understanding of my strengths and weaknesses associated with style of leadership that fits my personality (Salesforce.com, inc, 2016).

The intention of the following individual action plan is to recognize my leadership strengths and identify areas where I am able to further develop and strengthen my leadership qualities. The challenge within the action plan is to be cognizant of my strengths and weaknesses within the context of my professional and personal life allowing for me to constructively work towards strengthening my weaknesses. The deeper subset to the challenge will require that truth and sincerity of my experiences both professionally and personally be disclosed.

A leadership quiz offered by About.com Psychology. (n.d.) 'What 's your leadership style? ' suggests that the writer demonstrates both Participative. Participative or Transformational Leadership is based on establishing interactions and

Being involved in everything I do, my leadership skills have developed naturally through experience. I can think creatively and critically and offer advice to others. Through past mistakes and other’s opinions, I have learned to make my failures into successes. Through many organizations and extracurriculars, I have gained many perspectives on various topics. For instance, at BAE Systems, I take part in hands-on learning with other students who are as dedicated as me. This allows me to learn new perspectives in a cooperative environment. We constantly communicate with each other, sharing our ideas on how to solve the task at hand.

After taking the Leadership quiz I discovered that my leadership style is Participative. Participative leaders often ask the opinion of group members and solving problems but ultimately make the final decision. I agree with my findings and I often apply this leadership style at work. I find myself asking other coworkers their opinion on how to troubleshoot a problem. In the nursing occupation it is very important to have teamwork. Being a participative leader exemplifies teamwork. This displays that I value the opinions of my coworkers and feel that everyone should be able to make recommendations and suggestions and as a leader I can take those ideas and make a final decision. On my unit I was a charge nurse and as a charge nurse I always tried to include the recommendations of my coworkers.

Three different leadership competencies and styles I will discuss today, all of which are the most commonly practiced in today’s society, are participative, crisis, and autocratic leadership. I will also discuss listening, communication and encouragement as leadership competencies. Each of these styles can be used throughout a leader’s tenor, the needs at that time would dictate the style which is used for that particular situation. However, only one style can be used at any given time. Participative leadership requires that an employer ask and listen to one’s employees. Then act on their wishes, within reason, and when proper resources are available. Being an autocratic leader means, that the manager runs their work area, without feedback or very limited feedback

Mrs. June Dipilto has been a part of Pineland since the agency started. She decided to become more involved when she had a daughter who was born with a developmental disability. During the interview we discussed her leadership skill which is Participative. Participative leadership is considered a democratic leadership which values the input of team member and peers. This type of leadership boosts morale of employees because it makes the employee feel like they are involved and that there opinion matters. The participative leadership is ideal when running a company because if changes are made within the organization employees and team members feel comfortable with transitioning to changed environment because they trust the leadership. The style is great to use when tackling challenges because of the team based effort. Working as a cohesive team allows for challenges in the company to be met in a short period of time because of the all hands in

A psychologist, Kurt Lewin completed a research study in 1939 on the different types of leadership styles. He considered there to be three types of leaders, democratic, autocratic, and laissez-faire. In this particular study, children were placed in each individual group and viewed on the distinctive styles as they completed arts and crafts. A democratic leader is one that views participation from the group as the main attribute to making decisions. This leadership is viewed as being the most effective way to be a leader and just so happened to be my results from the short quiz that was taken. “Participative leaders encourage group members to participate but retain the final say in the decision-making process” (Cherry, 2016, Participative Leadership (Democratic)). Allowing the group members to feel included initiates room for creativity and motivation from not only the leader but also the group as

Leadership has many definitions, is multifaceted, and involves numerous aspects, such as identifying goals, providing support, inspiring and motivating people to act, and promoting the values of a group or organization (Giltinane, 2013). Some of the characteristics an effective leader possesses are honesty, creativity, emotional stability, energy, flexibility, conceptual skills, perseverance, and knowledge (Huber, 2014). Based on the Leadership Style Survey, my leadership style is determined to be participative, also referred to as democratic. This approach places emphasis on people, relationships, and teamwork. The leader shares responsibility by involving workers in group discussions and decision making, is able to recognize strengths and encourage workers

I regard myself a participative leader. In the words of DuBrin (2008, p.348), "a participative leader is the one who shares decision making with group members." In the past, I have held various leadership positions. During those brief stints as a leader, I have found it prudent to consult widely before making decisions. In my opinion, it is by consulting widely that we make the most viable decisions. It is also by consulting widely that we motivate others to achieve set goals (Pride, Hughes, and Kapoor, 2011).

Using the Strength Finders 2.0 Assessment, I was able to identify my personal strengths, which would identify my personal leadership skills. My strength assessment results where Harmony, Consistency, Empathy, Achiever, and Belief. This paper will identify each strength, how they relate to my leadership style and approach to leadership.

After taking the assessment, it was determined that my style is Participative. Participative leadership is Democratic and focuses on a collaborative effort from the team. Participative leaders rely on the team’s ideas and abilities instead of making all the decisions on their own (Murdock, K. 2014). Although the leader makes the final decision, the team has the freedom to contribute to decisions being made. Teamwork is an essential attribute for Participative leaders. As a Participative leader, you must possess the ability to set aside your ego, listen to the team, and give the team freedom to make their own decisions. In reviewing my results, I was not shocked by the fact that I as fit the mold of a Participative Leader. I’ve never been the type to rule with an Iron Fist. I don’t believe in a “my way or the Highway approach. I’m a collaborative individual and I rely heavily on the people around me to achieve a specific goal. Reason being,

The key strengths of participative leadership style are increased productivity and job satisfaction. When employees are afforded an opportunity to be involved in the organization’s decision making process, they are likely to develop a strong sense of commitment to the organization as well as increase their performance. Job satisfaction is another key strength of this leadership style. Most employees display high levels of job satisfaction when they notice their suggestions and/or recommendations are taken seriously and in some instances implemented within the organization. Additionally, this

The evolvement of my personal philosophy of management and leadership has come as a result of positive and negative experiences as a manager and also being managed. I currently take a predominantly participative management approach that is based being people-centred. This is a relatively recent transition from a more autocratic and ‘one size fits all’ approach. A participative management approach to management and leadership has been proven to support a well-informed team with strong problem solving skills (Cole, 2010) that promote the key characteristics of developing a team that can work independently and in the absence of their manager. Learning to actively engage in self-reflection was the catalyst to understanding that my concept of managing and leading in an authoritarian manner may be driving negative outcomes in my team and organisation.

Strategies and techniques t hat I would use in my leadership style of Participative Management would be as followed.
