    Complete 2- to 3-pages (not including title page and references) evaluating your leadership style and followership style based on the four questionnaires you completed. Be sure to: Summarize your personal leadership traits (self confidence, adaptability, empathy and effective communication) and style (transformational) based on the Leadership Traits and Leadership Styles Questionnaire results. Include both strengths and areas for improvement that reflect these two questionnaires. Describe your followership style (Passive) based on the Followership Questionnaire results. Explain the implications of this style for you as both a leader and a follower within an organization.

Sample Solution

     

Leadership Traits and Leadership Styles Questionnaire

The Leadership Traits and Leadership Styles Questionnaire results indicate that my personal leadership traits are self-confidence, adaptability, empathy, and effective communication.

  • Self-confidence: I am confident in my abilities and my ability to lead others. I am not afraid to take risks and I am willing to stand up for what I believe in.
  • Adaptability: I am able to adapt to change and to new situations. I am not afraid to try new things and I am always looking for ways to improve.

  • Empathy: I am able to understand and share the feelings of others. I am a good listener and I am able to build rapport with others.
  • Effective communication: I am able to communicate my ideas clearly and concisely. I am also able to listen to and understand the ideas of others.

The Leadership Traits and Leadership Styles Questionnaire also indicates that my leadership style is transformational. Transformational leaders are able to inspire and motivate others to achieve great things. They are also able to create a shared vision and to get others to commit to that vision.

Strengths:

Based on the results of these two questionnaires, I believe that my strengths as a leader include:

  • My confidence and ability to take risks
  • My adaptability and willingness to learn
  • My empathy and ability to build rapport with others
  • My communication skills

Areas for improvement:

I believe that my areas for improvement as a leader include:

  • Developing my patience
  • Learning to delegate more
  • Being more assertive

Followership Questionnaire

The Followership Questionnaire results indicate that my followership style is passive. Passive followers are typically compliant and do not challenge the authority of their leaders. They are also typically not very involved in decision-making.

Implications:

The implications of my passive followership style for me as both a leader and a follower within an organization are:

  • As a leader, I need to be careful not to take advantage of my followers' passivity. I need to be sure to involve them in decision-making and to give them the opportunity to contribute their ideas.
  • As a follower, I need to be more assertive and to speak up when I have something to say. I need to be willing to challenge the authority of my leaders if I believe that they are making a mistake.

I believe that by working on my weaknesses and developing my strengths, I can become a more effective leader and follower. I am committed to learning and growing as a leader, and I believe that I have the potential to be a transformational leader.
