Question

based on all of your lesson in Personal Profile System (DiSC), Adaption Innovation Theory, Full Range Leadership, and Critical Thinking chose three areas that will provide the most leadership growth and write three specific goals.

Answer 1

Personally speaking, I believe the below mentioned three areas would provide more leadership growth:

1. Idealized Influence (II) - II refers to ‘walk the talk’ and it more connected to ethical and moral values. The leader conveys a clear sense of integrity.
2. Adaption-Innovation theory-wherein the leader uses both adaptive style (structured and methodical way to solve problems) and innovative style (problem solving using creativity).
3. Critical thinking-refers to approaching the situation with certain mindset. The characteristics of critical thinking are open mindedness, high motivation, intellectual humility, healthy skepticism and free thinking.

The goals in these areas are:

1. To practice the ‘walk the talk’ approach as there might be situations with ethical dilemmas. This is important as employees lack trust in leaders.
2. To develop adaptive and innovative style in resolving problem in teams. The problem solving approach is pertinent as it is one of the weaknesses and areas of development for leadership.
3. To approach the problem with a critical thinking mindset. A poised and calm approach needs to be exhibited in leaders to handle the teams effectively.
