Value Based Leadership: Hanna Anderson's Value-Based Leadership

According to the textbook, Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, there are over 100 definitions of the word “leadership”, and all of them are unique in their own way (Northouse, 2015, p.1). There are so many different aspects to leadership that is it nearly impossible to have one definition that covers every area. Each and every person that is a considered a leader has his or her own way of leading because every situation, whether it be work, a team, at home, etc., calls for different and distinctive ways of leading people. Northouse states that there are six main aspects of leadership; it’s a trait, ability, skill, behavior, relationship, and an influential process (Northouse, p. 3-6). Giving a clear answer as to what leadership is defined as is very difficult, but this paper will talk about my specific leadership skills and what leadership means to me.

After taking the values balancing test my score is higher for collaboration then personal. Which means my leadership values are capacity for collaboration. These values are feminine and personal initiative are masculine values. Because I have capacity for collaboration it means that I underestimate my personal initiative and if I had personal initiative it means that I underestimate my capacity for collaboration. My score between personal and collaboration were only 2 or 3 points away from each other. If I had to work with someone who had different values then me. I would have to use both leadership values styles like being or risk taker but also adaptable when working on a project. After taking the unconscious bias I scored a 3 which means
