In terms of style, I\u2019ve always preferred to lead based on relationship because I like to give people the freedom in the way they do tasks instead of prescribing a method because often there\u2019s more than one way of doing tasks and someone else\u2019s way might be more efficient than mine. Also in the long term, I believe it\u2019s better to facilitate good relationships with team members and allow them room to discover things on their own as it benefits the group overall if individual members are improving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for the \u2018Leadership Theory and Practice Questionnaire,\u2019 I\u2019ve always known that human skills have always been a strength of mine so scoring highest on that wasn\u2019t much of a surprise. I was surprised though that I scored higher on technical skills than conceptual skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lastly for the &#8216;Leadership Trait Questionnaire,&#8217; I found that my self-perceptions of my leadership traits were mostly consistent with the perceptions of my peers with the biggest difference between perceptions about my dependability. For this trait, I had rated myself as a &#8216;5&#8217; but found my average rating from my peers was &#8216;3.5&#8217; which I found surprising. My weaknesses as a leader aside from dependability was conscientiousness (3.8), sensitivity (3.5), and empathy (3.8) which were all weaknesses I thought about myself as well and scored myself as &#8216;3&#8217; for those three traits.\u00a0 My strengths were also consistent with my self-analysis with them being self-assurance (5), out-goingness (4.7), persistance (4.7), and diligence (4.8).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-426\" data-postid=\"426\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-426 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results of the \u2018Leadership Theory and Practice\u2019 and \u2018Style\u2019 questionnaires I partook in didn\u2019t reveal too much and confirmed what I mostly knew about myself already.
