The leadership behaviors that have been identified are ‘Encourage
the heart’, ‘Enable others to act’, and ‘Inspire a shared vision’. The
rationale behind selecting ‘Encourage the heart’ is that it focuses on
acknowledging the efforts put by the employees and appreciating
even the small victories (Five practices - Palmerston north boys' high
school, 2015). Encouraging the employees for their small and big
actions make it easier for them to achieve the goals of the
organization. ‘Encourage the heart’ deals with how the leaders visibly
reward the performances of the employees and motivate them to
achieve more. On the other hand, the rationale behind selecting
‘Enable others to act’ is that it focuses on effective collaboration
among the employees and helps in building trust relationships.
Collaboration is an essential skill that enables an organization to
function effectively in the competitive era (Five practices -
palmerston north boys' high school, 2015). b The ration behind
selecting ‘Inspire a shared vision’ is that it focuses on including
everyone in the organization in a common vision.
• Yes, the identified leadership behavior aligns with questions
present in the engagement survey. ‘Encourage the heart’ aligns
with the question ‘My supervisor shows appreciation for the
work that I do’ and ‘I feel encouraged to come up with new and
better ways of doing things. ‘Enable others to act’ aligns with
the question ‘Provides an inclusive environment where each
employee is considered as an individual’ and ‘I have received
the training I need to perform my job responsibilities’. ‘Inspire a
shared vision’ aligns with the question ‘My Supervisor talks with
me to help me determine my training and development goals.’
• Improving the identified leadership skills will have a positive
impact on the employee engagement survey. It will encourage
the employee and increase their level of satisfaction with the
working conditions of the organization. The increase in
employee satisfaction will allow them to give a higher rating to
the various aspects relating to behavior.
