PLIS
The Perceived Leader Integrity Scale (PLIS) is a useful way to determine the different levels of transformational leadership within a given scenario and opinion. According to the text " the PLIS ratings are strongly and positively related to subordinates job satisfaction and negatively related to their desire to quit their job, " (p.401). The purpose of this essay is to discuss and highlight the PLIS score that I recorded after taking the evaluation. This analysis will be used to help identify the qualities that are most important in my own formulation of strong leadership.
Tests Results
The aim of the PLIS is to categorize and qualify the leadership components of another person's behavior. For this application, I used a former teacher of mine. After completing the test the score was complied and was tallied to 66.
Analysis
The aim of this test is to test another's integrity in a particular organization. I intentionally chose a teacher I did not respect nor feel that their integrity was very strong. The score of 66 denotes several things. According to the text this person "is seen as very unethical." While my internal dialogue accepted this truth long ago it is nice to see this idea is confirmed with a PLIS.
Peterson (2002) suggested that the results of a PLIS are helpful. He wrote " some individuals may believe that certain acts are always wrong. Other individuals may reject the notion that there are universal morals and assume that what constitutes ethical behavior depends on the situation or outcome of the behavior." Ethical analysis is not a worthwhile project unless this point is thoroughly understood. The subjective nature of the human experience suggests that there is no universal good or bad and that morals and ethics are merely tools to get along in life.
