Leadership Style Assessment

After taking the assessment test, I realized that I am a participative/democratic leader.   The results relate to me since I naturally like giving people a chance to speak out their minds and share ideas. I also naturally embrace teamwork and believe that every individual's views are valid.   The style of leadership will impact the technological tools that I will use since I will only utilize the tools that will improve my relationship with the team members and make their participation easy. For instance, will use the artificial intelligence voice tools to ensure that I am present in most of the meetings and that I get to where the viewpoints of the team members.  Having understood the mind of the people that I lead, it will be easy to make major decisions.  Automation is vital for it enables the accomplishment of major tasks in a shorter while, without the need of all participants to be there physically (Martin-dale, 2015).  Since I believe in the input of team members' ideas in major decision making, I will utilize language translators, so that employees from linguistic backgrounds can express themselves better.

I will use my leadership style in the organization to invite the participation of others in the team, especially during the making of major decisions. I will also encourage employees to participate in every step of work so that they can feel satisfied, recognized, and involved.  Team members that feel more included and involved tend to feel important, and therefore they give more input and are more satisfied.  They also feel more valued when their concerns are heard with less criticism and when they are motivated to achieve more through different forms of incentives (Chira, 2016). Lastly, I will ensure that I share my vision with the team members, before laying inclusive strategies of achieving the vision.
