3.2 What Is Your Leadership Style?

When we lead for the first time, we might adopt a style of leadership that we've experienced from someone else, or that we've heard or read about. If it seems to work, we'll likely stick with it – in effect, it becomes "our" style.

But there are many approaches available to us, and a good leader is able to adapt their style according to the situation and the people involved.

This quiz will help you to identify the style that you naturally lean toward, and introduce you to alternative approaches that you might find it helpful to develop, and the occasions when they may be appropriate.

A leadership style inventory can help you understand your leadership style and how to adapt your own style to other situations and people.

After taking the quiz, write an analysis of the results. Do you agree with the results? Why or why not? How can you use the results to your advantage?

Your task is to submit a multi-paragraph response of no more than 500 words.
