Question

What strategies or adjustments in your own behavior, thinking, or worldview might you have to consider when addressing the perceptions of followers? The subject of this question involves leadership.

Answer 1

If I analyze my leadership style, I will rate myself as a more directive and achievement oriented as the growth and developments are reflected by the determining results. But I have an opinion that I can learn more about participation from other team members and learn to know their experience about different situation and elements which can be improved or altered. As per Nothouse, the principle of path-goal theory suggests, if the score of an individual match with these hypothetical scores, the person is said to be effective in those situations where the processes and activities are not so certain and a level of certainty is required from the team members. The person will be ineffective in the structured and unchallenging work setups. Apart from this, The effectiveness will be moderate in confusing situations with the team members looking for control. Lastly, the performance will be quite well in uncertain situations where the high standards can be established, putting some challenges to the team members to accomplish these challenges and to make them comfortable to trust their abilities. All this explains me in short and precise.

If I look at my leadership style, sometimes it becomes quite inconsistent as opposed to my fixed perception of leadership. There is a kind of blind spot within me about the perceived self which I should depend on observers’ feedback for revelation. While addressing the perception of the followers, I will consider more that there is a dynamic relationship between the leaders’ and followers’ archetypes and such flexibility with leadership style implementation is quite significant and special in any given circumstance.
