Course 2, Discussion 1: Understanding your Leadership Style

@Hope

1. I scored the highest in Coaching with Visionary next.

2. I could resonate greatly while reading through the leadership styles as I beleive developing an individual would develop the society in turn positively influencing the overall growth and progress of both. 

@Hope

I scored the highest for Coaching and Democratic (which were tied). 

Scoring high in coaching and democracy as a leader suggests that I prioritize personal and professional development of my team members and value their input and participation in decision-making processes. I would agree with this. As a coaching leader, I invest time in mentoring and guiding my team, fostering an environment of continuous learning and growth. My democratic approach means I believe in the collective wisdom of the group, encourage open communication, collaboration, and shared responsibility. This leadership style tends to build strong, cohesive teams, as it promotes trust, respect, and a sense of ownership among team members, ultimately leading to higher engagement and motivation.

I have been in two prominent leadership roles in my life and used coaching + democracy while leading.

@LittleEggHarbor

I also got coaching!  I think it's cool you got tied with two, I mean more is better than less lol.

@Hope

  (Coaching leader type) Coaching type of leadership can have many advantages, such as improved communication, productivity, and morale. When properly executed, a coaching leadership style can help improve the skills of your team members. This, in turn, can lead to increased productivity and improved morale. 

I agree with this test because in schools I have many positions where I need to coach. (Mediator, class leader, etc)

@Hope

I am an affiliative leader. Cultivating relationships with my teammates. 

I agree with this! I have always observed myself to strengthen and cherish connections. 

@KindleMissie

i am an affiliative leader as well! it is always great to have a leader like us that shows our appreciation which can also lead to the positive connections/bonds within the company

@heathermarie95

@Hope

Which leadership style did you score the highest for?

i tied with democratic and affiliative

✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?

Yes as it is important to acknowledge the successes employees have accomplished. employees who are shown appreciation tend to do a well job done and enjoy their job. 

@heathermarie95

That's amazing! You are completely right! :)

@Hope Scored the highest for Affiliative leadership 

@Hope

Turns out I am an Affiliative Leader and I am so proud! Health comes before anything else. Team work? Very important! I want to know that my team is wanted and appreciated as well as respected and important!

You can reach nothing without your team or employees, they are the base of everything and should be treated just as amazing as they are. :)

I was pretty equal almost all the way across-the-board except for commander was lower. I do agree with most of them, especially the Democratic approach.

@Hope

✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for? 

I scored pretty high for affiliative style which I’m happy about cause I really want the people I work with to know that I respect them and understand that self care and boundaries that are needed for their health is more important than work at times. My second highest score is for coaching and I’m glad that I can be both respectful and helpful as a leader.

✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?

I do agree with most of the quiz because I have been told before that I can coach people pretty well and I agree with some of my weaknesses to like commanding one of my lowest scores I know that I’m not a very commanding person so yup accurate. Overall most my other scores are moderate and I agree with the quiz 

@Hope

✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?

I actually tied for affiliative and democratic!

✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?

I don't recall taking a leadership quiz before, so I'm not sure if I have any strong opinions about it. I feel like my strong suits are pretty accurate though. I care a lot about fairness!
