Leadership Approach

Write a summary

My Leadership Approach – How would I have handled that situation?

Visualize two different leadership scenarios that you witnessed directly, read about, or saw on television or in a more. Think throught how you would have used a different leadership approach for each one if you had been the leader.

Use this as an example:

Suppose you had passed a construction site for a skyscraper and noticed that the crane operater seemed confident and competent. You might conclude, “In this situation, I would have used a delegating style of leadership with the crane operator because she was so self-sufficient. Yet I would still have given her some recognition for a job well done at the end of her shift.”

Another scenario might be that you witnessed a bloody fight at a professional hockey match. You might conclude, “In this situation, I would be as directive as possible. I would suspend and fine the players, with no room for negotiation. Decisive action must be taken to quell violence in professional sports.”
