Course 2, Discussion 1: Understanding your Leadership Style
Hope December 5th, 2022
.

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.

Let's get started!

- Please take the leadership style test linked HERE.

I'm an affiliative leader! This means that I promote team work, and its importance. I motivate my team and ensure they understand what is required.

Will tag someone when they arrive 😊

@Hope

I are an affiliative leader.
I have a leadership style that encourages relationships between people, prompting them to work together. I approach involves focusing on the importance of working together. I also understand the needs of your team and your partners very well, and you try to satisfy them. My greatest strength lies in my ability to ease tensions or motivate all your team members during difficult periods.I also have a knack for getting people who are accustomed to working alone to work together instead.
