Developing the skills required positioning you to utilize alternative styles that would better fit the situation\/person<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWriter\/author John Addison from Success Magazine<\/em> published a leadership quiz that is broken into 3 parts: Lead Yourself,\u00a0Lead Others,\u00a0Lead From The Inside Out.\u00a0Because of the categories, it obviously caught our eye and we wanted to share it.<\/p>\nPart 1 – Lead Yourself<\/h3>\n
How do your values impact your work?<\/b><\/p>\n\n- I\u2019m too busy working to sit around thinking about my values<\/li>\n
- I try to stick to my values but I find myself backing down occasionally to avoid conflict or get ahead professionally<\/li>\n
- I\u2019m contradicting my values regularly, but I believe the rewards are worth it<\/li>\n
- I rarely, if ever, do something I feel contradicts my values. I\u2019d rather risk losing my career than be someone I\u2019m not<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
What are some of your main strengths?<\/b><\/p>\n\n- I\u2019m a team player with a strong work ethic and a willingness to go the extra mile<\/li>\n
- I\u2019m skilled in my industry, willing to learn and open to new ideas<\/li>\n
- I\u2019m a driven person with the ability to work alone and solve problems quickly<\/li>\n
- I\u2019m a friendly person who is creative and compassionate\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
What part of your work motivates you?<\/b><\/p>\n\n- I get great satisfaction from working shoulder to shoulder with my team and meeting a goal together<\/li>\n
- My motivation seems to shift depending on what I\u2019m working on and whom I\u2019m working with<\/li>\n
- I want to fulfill my leadership potential and move up in my field as quickly as possible<\/li>\n
- I feel it\u2019s my obligation to help others become their best selves and live their best lives<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Addison explains that there are 4 leadership styles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- The Hands-On Leader<\/li>\n
- The Developing Leader<\/li>\n
- The Lone Wolf Leader<\/li>\n
- The Inspirational Leader<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
If your answers are mostly “1”, you\u2019re likely a Hands On Leader.
\nIf your answers are mostly “2”, you\u2019re likely a Developing Leader.
\nIf your answers are mostly “3”, you’re likely a Lone Wolf Leader.
\nIf your answers are mostly “4”, you’re likely an Inspirational Leader.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an excerpt of his style definitions:<\/p>\n
\n- The Hands-On Leader<\/strong> –\u00a0Humble, hard-working, willing to be a member of the team<\/li>\n
- The Developing Leader<\/strong> –\u00a0Genuinely concerned for others, a willingness to learn<\/li>\n
- The Lone Wolf Leader<\/strong> –\u00a0Great delegator, strategist, visionary; may struggle with people skills<\/li>\n
- The Inspirational Leader –\u00a0A good communicator, make people feel good, create a friendly culture<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
*Note: The complete style definitions may be found in Success Magazine – April 2016.<\/em><\/p>\nRemember, we\u2019re likely to use all styles, but we generally have a preference. All styles have strengths, and all styles, when over-used, or used when another style could obtain better results, can become a weakness.\u00a0Stay tuned for part 2 next week!<\/p>\n
