My results from the Path-Goal Leadership questionnaire indicated participative and supportive styles as most often, directive often, and achievement-oriented least often. My understanding of the path-goal leadership theory is my behavior style choice as a leader impacts an employee’s path to goal achievement, creating the opportunity to make the path as smooth as possible by providing the necessary conditions for effective performance. What is most interesting is that regardless of style used, the situational factors presented by the employee determine acceptability of the leader’s behavior. And that these situational factors can be different for each employee or employees grouped by like-tasks. My use of participative and supportive leadership styles is in line with what the text refers to as the situational factors that make this behavior favorable. The work conducted in my organization can be stressful and frustrating, is certainly not repetitive, and has various opportunities for personal-ego fulfillment such as opportunities to engage with power positions like state and local elected officials. However, our work also can be ambiguous, which best pairs with the styles I scored the lowest, achievement-oriented and directive. I am intuitive and feeling preference, so I am not surprised by my frequent styles. I do think that I bring a high level of effectiveness to the organization through participative and supportive leadership. I do recognize that as a leader I need to improve by ability to set clear expectations and challenging goals without the fear of conflict preventing my ability to execute these essential leadership tasks. The Authentic Leadership questionnaire resulted in average score of 15.75, with only relative transparency falling into the low range. I think it is most interesting how life experience and life course impacts the development of authentic leadership; to me this connects back to the S-R/R-S theories- once you have been burned, you do not touch the stove until you know if it is hot or cold. In my organization, we refer to this as “leadership lessons learned”. These lessons learned build upon the leader’s self-awareness and self-regulation. I recognize my lower score in relational transparency being directly related to past experiences. In order to further develop as an authentic leader, I should place more focus on bringing the desired future-state to the present and less of the past-state to the present thus enhancing self-vulnerability through relational transparency.
