Leadership Styles
It is highly likely that I will be able to develop high quality leadership traits with the passage of time.
Values and personality:
It is hard to become familiar with your personality because you cannot see the flaws in yourself. No matter how hard you try the positive aspects will come forward leaving the negative ones far behind. But observing yourself every once in a while is the key to success. It helps you change your personality according to the situation. If I had to put my values and my personality on a piece of paper I would begin it by telling about my behavior with my closed ones, my associates and especially with the ones I deal with on daily basis. I believe on taking everyone with me and not being competitive as competitiveness leads you nowhere. It might lead you to success somehow but leaves you with no friends and no companions (Adair, 2009).
As a leader there are numerous responsibilities on you. You cannot be a person with a confusing or an under-developed personality. I had to be certain that I worked hard on getting an inspiring personality and the kind that a leader requires to have. I was understanding and considerate with people. I was respectful towards my fellow mates especially my subordinates. In order to win their trust I had to win their confidence. I was the transformational leader, the leader who creates vision and aims to achieve higher goals by inspiring and stimulating his followers (Adair, 2009).
Then comes the values, but before acknowledging your values it is important that you know what values are? Values according to me are small gestures on which your daily life is based upon. Values are your priorities and my priorities are making sure that I am not a burden on anyone or I am not dictating anyone's life. My major value is my optimism, competency and my ambition.My values have a big impact on my followers that is why as a leader you should choose and practice the values that will prove you as an efficient and an innovative leader. It is very important for a leader to be optimistic in his leadership. Because of my optimism I was able to deal with conflicts and overcome them, I was able to find a positive way out of every mistake and blunder my team made and most of all it had a massive effect on my team members as their positivity helped us in achieving our goals and aims. I made them see our bright future which would happen as a result of our hard work and because of this motivation they struggled more to achieve it. A leader's optimism is the reason why a team prospers (Adair, 2009).
Competency is required for every leader as, it is only then that he would be able to deal with a thousand issues related to his team and organization. My competency was very significant for my team members. They looked up to me and I had to set an example for them. I had to deal with financial issues, my team-building, I had to make my members trust me, I had to watch their each and every action. I had to adapt to every situation and act flexibly and above all I had to guide all my members to be flexible in dealing with every condition. It was my competency because of which I lead them towards their goal and I had to make them finish it on time with my inspirational speeches and continuous motivation. I had to solve the problems prevailing within the organization and settle all the issues in a way that will help me build relationship with my team (Adair, 2009).
My ambition is where I am right now. I wanted to be a leader and my determinations lead me here. I did not just sat in one place looking at things. I managed each one of them. I set a goal and I have made an excellent team and I achieved that goal with hard work and efforts. You would need an ambition if you want to spend your life revitalizing and in a significant way. Because without an ambition there is no leader, it would be the ambition that would keep him working hard even in the adverse and antagonistic situations. It was my ambition that helped me in motivating my team members, in building a relationship with them and thinking of new strategies daily for my leadership (Adair, 2009).
