This style of leadership seems to help the subordinates grow professionally and be more incline to promotion.

I have also found that some of my previous supervisors have played a roll in the dynamics of my life that have influenced my leadership style. Over the length of my career I have worked under supervisors who refused to or was uncomfortable in delegating authority. This experience seemed to reduce the chances for growth and development within the employee. I found this style of leadership to be in effective.

During these moments, important projects, task, or important dates can be forgotten. Knowing this I have found it very important to track and schedule these events and dates. By doing this, I have minimized these type of issues. The Democratic style of leadership can also become problematic when you delegate too much of the leaders responsibilities. I have found it to be very important to have a healthy balance. I would say that the employees that have worked under my command would describe me as somewhat disconnected at times, but understanding of the their needs and the needs of the agency. I believe they would also say that I get things done against all odds and work well under pressure. I feel the employee’s who have worked under my command would rate me a seven on a scale of one to ten. I believe that because the employees under my command don’t understand the other obligations that take up much of my time, but do see that I truly care for them.

The aspects of my leadership I would change if I could, would be to disengage in some of the other duties I have taken on and become more engaged in the department. I would also enforce the chain of command system more. I have found that an agency that uses the chain of command system seem to operate more

One of the biggest things I can do to improve my personal leadership style, is to watch the shadow sides of my strengths. I do not want to ruin my chances of leading because I was too focused on myself and not others. While working on my style throughout the class, I have learned to better include everyone else’s opinion. My way is not always the best solution for every possible situation, so I should include a little more democracy in my leadership style. Another thing I need to learn as I am developing as a leader is to be more inclusive.

In using this style, the leader either fosters a free environment or is just inept. Interference is not promoted and events are permitted to run their own course. After taking the leadership assessment provided on BlackBoard, I found out that my leadership style most resembles democratic, with the delegative style falling close behind and the autocratic last. I believe that the assessment proved accurate in revealing my leadership style as democratic.

When running a country, being

“The study of history has been a study of leaders – what they did and why they did it” (Bass, 2008: 4). New contemporary styles of leadership have emerged that arguably are more successful in the long term (Dawson & Andriopoulos, 2014). This report critically evaluates different styles of leadership to determine if a transformational style will have a more decisive effect on employee motivation and organisational culture culminating in long term prosperity of the business.

Alma Monge Prof. Joan Ready BSC407_08_MM: The Effective Organization 6 August 2015 According to Cherry (n.d.), the democratic leadership style is also know as participative leadership specifically because individuals forming part of the group are able to have a more participative function in the group’s decision-making processes.

Since there are diverse groups of people around the world, it is not queer for them to have different beliefs, culture, opinions, and so forth. However, those kinds of differences sometimes cause an enormous problem to humanity like war, racism, and many more. It might start from a little thing like stereotyping or prejudicing in a small group of people until the worldwide one. Have you ever prejudiced someone or been prejudiced by someone because you were associated with a particular group?

Through self-reflection and academic readings, I have discovered that I identify with three different leadership theories. During the first meeting in a Strength Based Leadership class, we were asked to write our leadership history. The class then began an ongoing exploration of various leadership theories. Upon reviewing my leadership history from the first class and synthesizing the information from the theories that were examined, I discovered that I most resonate with the Trait Leadership Theory, the Skills Leadership Theory, and the Path-Goal Leadership theory. These theories are leader focused, describing the process and techniques a leader uses to accomplish goals.

In addition, this theory allows management and leadership to be able to identify and accurately diagnose the situation and vary employees’ behavior accordingly to the situation (Yukl and Mahsud, 2010). This will enable management and leadership at CIBCFCIB to select appropriate types of leadership behavior for each type of situation. Moreover, another impact that this theory has on organizational strategy whereby Charismatic leaders at CIBCFCIB can minimize various types of behaviour by increasing competent employees.
