Self-Identified Leadership Style: Transformational

Our risk management work team at Hyatt Corporation identified our gifts with a Strength Finder Gallup assessment which measures natural unique talents (Gallup, Inc., 2017). One of my top five strengths is connectedness (Gallup, Inc., 2017). My natural ability to unify and build teams to communicate and help each other is a characteristic of transformational leadership (Evans, 2015). People that have a connectedness characteristic can also promote team success using kind behaviors such as consideration, care, and understanding (Gallup, Inc., 2017).

Transformational qualities such as knowledge, skills, and abilities allow me to guide the organization toward valuing safety over production, and people’s health over money (Cooper, 2015). Additionally, I am able to motivate managers and employees to care about each other; for example, a managers or employee see a safety risk that could cause injuries, and immediately corrects the problem so someone will not get hurt (Cooper, 2015). I support twelve full service hotels and 40 small hotels across 20 states. During my mid-year review, the hotels teams reported that I was passionate and enthusiastic in promoting safety and health; and kind and caring when delivering the message to the managers and employees.
