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!

@Hope

I'm a democratic leader. It's true because my team's success is always my team's success and not Joy's success. I find happiness and satisfaction in asking, what do you think we should do because following it up, when it came from the team member is easier.

@Hope I got the visionary leader.

Your leadership style is very motivating. In contrast to the commanding and pacesetting leaders, you have a very clear overall vision of each situation, meaning that you excel at defining the purpose of every project you take on. You have a strong idea and you trust that the key members of your team will make it work with concrete solutions. Your greatest strength is above all your ability to motivate your team to make sense of changes in the company. In other words, with your charisma and empathy and a clear and inspiring vision, you are able to lead the way for others.

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

✒️ What is your leadership style?

I'm actually a mix between democratic and visionary. I used democracy first and then make a case for visionary outcomes.
