Review your Leadership Style

1. In reviewing your own leadership behavior, what style of leadership (Tell-Persuade-Consult-

Participate-Delegate) have you chosen the most frequently? Explain briefly why you selected that
style.
- I chose consulting because, when making decisions for a group or organization, you must
let your members identify solutions and try to persuade them to suggest alternative
solutions.
2. Is your leadership usually influenced more by personality forces in your self or in the group or by
forces in the situation? Have you ever tended to neglect any of these forces?
- I am usually influenced by personality forces. As someone who has a very positive
personality, it is believed that leaders who have a very positive personality are good at
managing large teams and conciliate conflicts among team members.
3. Do you usually let the members of your group know you intend to use your authority as the
leader and how much influence they will have in making a particular decision? Explain your
answer.
- Yes, because power and authority provide you with a practical means of achieving
organizational goals by leading the effort and productivity of others.
4. How much attention do you give to long-term objectives (such as increased motivation,
individual development, and teamwork) when choosing a leadership style? Justify your answers.
- As someone who got a lot of patience when it comes to decision making, being able to do
and execute properly the objectives is a top priority for me. Being able to do these makes
an individual a more efficient and effective leader. The ability to operate efficiently is a
leadership quality that goes hand in hand with organization. Simply put, efficiency means
not wasting time while working toward a goal. A leader's time will be better spent if they
have a clear direction, a goal to focus on, and the motivation to achieve it.
