Week 4 - Discussion Forum 1

• Read the Week 4 Lecture.
• Read Chapter 4: Attending to Tasks and Relationships in the textbook.

Reflect:

Reflect on what you learned about your own leadership style. Do you consider yourself to be a task-oriented leader, or a relational-oriented leader? Do you do both well? What are the benefits of each style? One of the challenges leaders face when leading is knowing when to integrate in their task and relationship behaviors. Do you consider this a challenge for you in your leadership style?
