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.
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 find this quite humorous just on the pretense that Ive always been told my leadership style is unique yet there are so many affiliative leaders on this thread. i actually find pleasure in knowing there are others like me.
@Jefferythebunny319 heyhey I feel the same! hahaha.
@Jefferythebunny319
nice to know that so many are that type of leader
@Hope
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.
It labelled me as affiliative leader, though i'm not so agreeing with it, lol.
@vivelespatates
I got affiliative leader too, and I agree with you. There are others answers which I felt would be applicable depending on situation, lol
