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!

Hi! I scored the highest in the Commanding Leadership metrics. (29/35)
I agree that I am quite clear when it comes to performance and objectives. It can be quite dominating at times and I really have to tone it sometimes.
It is pretty much average (20+) when it comes to DEMOCRACY, COACHING, PACE-SETTING,and VISIONARY.
Overall, I realise that I can be a good leader, but due to my reserved approach in public interactions, it does not really show.

Do you agree with this quiz?
Yes,very. I focus on the future,forgetting about the present at times. But I love viewing goals and trying to achieve them,and leading with empathy. I keep being a visionary and thinking about the future. Additionally,well being matters more than results to me.
