  • Essay / Style and Leadership Style - 727

    I have an adaptability score of 25, which is very moderate. The adaptability score implies that I am somewhat likely to change my leadership style due to the situation. High adaptability indicates good job performance, a positive attitude, an ability to take control quickly when an emergency arises; however, low adaptability indicates the opposite, such as an inability to cope with stress effectively or handle more than one thing at a time. According to Dr. Paul Hersey, there are four different types of leadership styles. They tell, sell, participate and delegate. According to my scores, my leadership is rather salesy with moderate preparation. A moderate level of readiness indicates that I lack a certain skill or knowledge, but am willing to participate. Task-oriented or people-oriented My preferred style is S2/S3. I am more people oriented than task oriented because I scored relatively high on these questions. Being more people-oriented than task-oriented helps me understand people's emotions when conflict arises by knowing how to resolve the problem appropriately. Since I'm more of a people person, this may affect my performance at work but postponing tasks or not completing them. The downside of being people-oriented is feeling overwhelmed or frustrated when different challenges arise at the same time. To improve in this area, I would need to balance the two by becoming more organized.
