As part of Module 1,
I have completed a couple of leadership style quizzes. Here are my results.
ProProfs - "Reveal your Leadership Style"
Quiz
Type Cs are the EARTH GREEN category. You lead
by consensus and involve the team in a gentle consultative manner. You are
quietly determined and get things done apparently without effort. In reality,
this is not the case as you are always quietly working away for and on behalf
of people. You find it easy to highlight other people’s strengths and spend a
great deal of time 1-1 with your team members. But be careful, some people
won’t notice you as you can be quite quiet except when someone treads on one of
your values. Then you turn into some stubborn beast that no-one can believe is
you. Sometimes involving other people in all your decisions can slow things
down and other types (reds and yellows) will be driven nuts by this
behaviour.
The leader in you You’re the calmest type of
leader and you get results through empowering and supporting others. Your quiet
determination engenders great loyalty and following. Sometimes you might need
to speed up to be more effective and concentrate less on how you feel about
decisions. Examples of leaders that use a lot of green energy are Sir Terry
Leahy, Gandhi, Al Gore.
Buzzle - "Leadership Styles Quiz"
Your style of
leadership is democratic, a.k.a. participative. It is considered as one of the
most effective leadership styles in ideal situations. As the name suggests,
democratic leaders consider the suggestions and opinions of group members and
involve group members in the decision-making process. But they make sure that
the final decision is taken by them while being in sync with the majority. This
kind of leadership motivates the followers and encourages the group members to
participate in the process. It ultimately improves the creativity and
productivity of the members. It is one of the ideal leadership styles in an
education system.
ProProfs - "Leadership Quiz"
The Nice Leader You've got great potential for
being one of the best leaders on your team. You're understanding and always
willing to help out. The only problem you might face is the acceptance flaw -
you need to be liked. While it's great to be everyone's friend, you find it
hard to deal with serious issues or confrontations. To help overcome this
problem try approaching issues or conlfict in a sensitive and honest manner
instead of 'giving in' to the idea of being friends. Your teammates will
respect and look up to you for it!
None of these
results surprise me at all. They are definitely me to a tee.
