Course 2, Discussion 1: Understanding your Leadership Style
Hello everyone,
If you are reading this, it means you have come a long way in your leadership training. Kudos to you for all the effort and resilience you have shown! It is amazing how you all are open to learning and adapting to new environments: the environment of leadership!
Before we zoom in and talk more about learning and adapting, lets zoom back out first and talk about how you feel about leadership. Regardless of how you see yourself, there is a leader within you. The one who visualizes how things could have run in a better way if you were in the leading spot. Leading spot here means:
A desire for change
Believing you got the abilities to make it happen
Visualizing success while keeping in mind the bigger picture.
Lets take a look at the leadership styles as proposed by Daniel Goleman
Picture taken from this source.
Your original style could be any of them. So for the purpose of this course, we are going to use a leadership style test to help you identify your core competencies. In brief, we are using the test here to help you identify your leadership approach. So, when you know how you approach an event, you could think and put efforts to bring a change in it. It will allow you to polish your strengths and focus to improve in other different areas as well.

✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
the highest score i got in this quiz is PACESETTING
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?
yes , i agree
I was a visionary leader.. I found it interesting and thought provoking
I scored the highest as both a visionary and coaching leader. I feel this fits me well, as I do invest in long-term development and continually support people I work with (coaching), and also provide direction and vision to best support the group and organization (visionary).
@Hope
I scored the highest as having an affiliative leadership style. Overall, I think the quiz reflected my personality, in accordance with the various leadership styles accurately, as I would say that I prioritize developing bonds with others and believe in recognition and reward where applicable. Following affiliative, I was tied with visionary and democratic, which indicate that I consider and provide long-term guidance, as well as value team participation and input.
@Hope I scored the highest for ‘affiliative’ leadership style. I’m motivating during tough times, helps resolve conflict and strengthens connections.
I scored the highest in Visionary and yes I agree with this test.
I scored highest in the Coaching and Affiliative styles. I do agree with this because I feel strongly in helping all group members to feel involved, grow and be involved in the decisions and revisions.
1. I scored highest on the Affiliative leadership style. 32/35.
2. I do agree with it. Prior to taking the test, I thought that Democratic or Affiliative resembled my leadership style the most. I like the emphasis on participatory decision-making, empathy, positive reinforcement, and fostering a team spirit.
