A Self Assessment of My Leadership Style
Executive Summary
This assessment task consists of 360 degree evaluation by others about my leadership style as well as my self assessment in Section B. I have taken four people which helped me in doing my 360 degree evaluation which were, my Boss, my work colleague, my classmate and my room mate. They helped my out in analyzing my leadership style, style effectiveness, leader behavior analysis and servant leadership scores. Also, section A consists of the self evaluation – instrumental self rating of assertiveness, leadership style, my terminal as well as instrumental values, self awareness, cognitive style, tolerance and ambiguity scale, interpersonal relationship ratings, behavioral style profile(feeler style), positive and negative expressivity, attending to motions, emotion based decision making, responsive joy and distress, empathic concern, typology, DISC personality evaluation. Part B is focused on what I have done and learnt from my evaluation of quizzes and readings given in the Study Guide. Through this report I learned a lot about my personality, strengths and weaknesses, organizational culture and national culture and its effects, my point of view as well as others point of view on my leadership style and their views were attributed. Also, in the end leadership theories as well as models are described the ones which were in the unit as well as the ones which I found out through my other researched material. For an overall development and to get an extensive view, this assessment was very crucial form of learning and getting a wider perspective/outlook of this whole unit for me. It needed an intensive research with referencing books, articles, journals, management websites, company profiles, etc. Due to time constraints the depth could not be covered even though I would have cherished to do more research.
