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!

I'm an affiliative leader. I liked the lines "I have the knack for a person who is accustomed to work alone to make them work together as a team "

I have a Democratic Leadership style 🍀

FrenchMarbles February 21st, 2023
I am a democratic leader.
My leadership style is based on collective intelligence. I like to organize meetings to consult my team members or partners before making decisions. My good listening skills draw ideas out of everyone. That is how I improve group creativity and innovation. My greatest strength is my ability to motivate the key people I work with. In other words, I know how to get on the right path.

I am a visionary leader! This means, I am very motivating and have a clear overall vision of each situation. I have strong ideas and I trust key members of the team to have concrete solutions. Overall with my charisma and empathy and clear inspiring vision, I am able to lead the way for others. 💪

@Trintzu

That's a great leading style because it lives beyond you. It impacts people who may not have directly interacted with you. It extends to the future generations. Keep at it Trintzu👏👏👏

@Trintzu

This is what I got as well! I think it's a great leadership style as I see it more as trusting team members and relying on their strengths to build upon each other.
