Strengths
According to my range of scores during this student leadership practices inventory, ‘modeling the way’ was my only high score putting me at a 21.5/peer-evaluation and a 25/self-evaluation. I thought that I lead by example more and created a path for others to follow like a role-model would, but peers suggest that I need to expand this leadership behavior although they did give me a moderate score average. There is still definite room for improvement.
I did rank a close second when it concerned ‘encouraging the heart’ with a moderate score ranging from 30-60th percentile from myself and peers. I was ranked higher from my peers in this category suggesting that I tend to do well encouraging others in work efforts, but my view was that …show more content…

How can I score high in one area and not the other? This is discussed in greater detail in my action-planning worksheet for ‘enabling others to act.’ ‘Inspiring a shared vision’ was not a strong leadership behavior that I personify. I have a tendency to be quite selfish sometimes and this is never a good trait to have in a multicultural work environment, especially as a leader. The score that I gave myself in this department was lower than my peers review, suggesting that I am sometimes harder on myself than others. I always thought that I was pretty vocal in regards to how I feel about actions or procedures at work, and I have never been afraid to have a sit-down with superiors to be heard. This score indicates to me that I need to start treating subordinates in the same manner as superiors, maybe this will open up dialogue and help to inspire a shared vision among all involved in the process. My ‘challenging the process’ scores were higher by peers than myself and put me in the low 20th percentile to the 35th percentile. This is probably due to the fact that I have a bad habit of thinking that my ideas of correction or direction are more appropriate than others’ suggestions. This is not a good leadership behavior to possess, since it could drive people away from me rather than creating unity

This may have been a reflection of my lack of confidence, and where I subconsciously believe that I need to learn, grow and strengthen my skills as a leader. What I learned from others is that people gravitate to individuals who are familiar to them, and whom they’re comfortable with. I also observed that my longstanding relationships with many of my fellow colleagues might have dictated a neutral response from them. Furthermore, I learned that many people have different styles of communication, as well as various patterns of behavior. What I will apply to skillful leadership from this exercise is to try not to judge others, attempt to observe, communicate and be open-minded and supportive.

I understand this more after reading my LPI 360 assessment. Although, the feedback was mostly positive I have identified ways to become a better more valuable leader. In the numbers portion I received pretty low scores in finding ways to celebrate accomplishments and overtly praising subordinates for their hard work. This resonated with me because I have felt unappreciated before and I d o not want my subordinates to think what they are doing is not important or appreciated. Other tools I will use to try different leadership approaches will include the DiSC and MBTI survey.

I make sure I am always leading by example and maintaining a strong work ethic. The way I am currently influencing the performance of my colleagues in the Military Division is by consistently meeting my performance requirements every quarter, and continually assessing how I can coach others to do the same. I lead my military admission team by supporting and assisting team members that have worked in the organization for as little as 6 months and as long as 6 years. I also focus on how I can help the entire graduation team meet their goals with financial clearance and continuing student body requirements. Leadership is needed in all areas of higher education, therefore I believe it is beneficial to have strong leadership and guidance provided on the front end and that will help maintain the successes of students and staff long

The five parts to the leadership are model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable other to act, and encourage the heart. The first practice is model the way. Martin Luther King Jr. represented model the way by setting examples, being a role model, and having numerous personal achievements. Edwards (2010) stated in the article “Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” the he inspired us to dream, challenged us to act, loved us and encouraged our hearts. Model the way did not just start with Martin Luther King Jr. First,

SMART goals are written in a specific format to have all the components of a well-written goal. This type of goal setting allows a person or team to be focused on the outcome and not be distracted by a poorly written abstract of a goal. Two SMART goals that I will focus on to improve my leadership are developing my EI and seeking understanding first.

To avoid personal bias, a leader should not only rely on self-assessment. I refer to Belbin’s team role questionnaire I did in the LPDCM class, feedback from the team, and assessment result from a consultant when I worked as an HR Director, to identify my strengths and weakness. I am aware that I have high work standard, high motivation, enjoy building a partnership, driving execution and innovation to deliver my commitment. However, I should better delegate the task and not to worry too much about the outcomes/perfection, which could result in giving too much pressure to my team. Even though my CP team enjoys our group work, I may stretch them with some pressures for detail and

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.
