My Understanding of Leadership
- Ability
- Capacity at which one is able to perform
activities or tasks. This is definitely a primary
style for me. I expect followers to learn the
ability to perform and become leaders
themselves.; if this is their goal. If not, then I
will provide the tools necessary for them to
perform.
- Process
- To help followers feel comfortable with each other and the situations at hand, I feel this style
should go with relational. And I could see how I scored high on the assessment, as I am a teacher .
I would rather show my followers how to perform rather than barking orders. To paraphrase
Palmer, it all begins with the inner journey; "the work before the work."
- Skill
- Exuding the competence to successful complete tasks. Along with ability,
my scored highest in this style of leadership. I train my employees to ask
for guidance until they master tasks. This is, for me, the only way I know
they are learning and following.
- Relational
- After scoring in the assessment, I felt sure this was one of my primary
leadership styles. I was shocked when it wasn't. My methodical
approaches sometimes don't allow for relationships. However, I form new
relationships daily. It's my followers that need the most attention. This
is an area of improvement for my leadership style.
- Behavioral
- Examination of what leaders do. I feel I
do have "watchers" and they tend to
mimic my leadership behavior, however
this is not my primary leadership style.
- Trait
- "A Born Leader" which I am
not. My leadership skills are
learned. I do not feel any of
my leadership traits were
inherited.
