The Leadership Style Assessment has identified myself as an Adaptive Supportive. The primary characteristics that I can identify with are trustworthy, charitable, hard working, traditional values and consensus building in my work environment. I disagree with the characteristic of supporting the status quo in my classroom. Those are the characteristics that I believe matches my style. I believe my colleagues would agree with my own assessment.
The other leadership styles I can identify with has the characteristics of Creative Assertive and Dynamic Supportive since the matching virtues of Imagination and Empathy. I feel I demonstrate those qualities to my students and help students find their own leadership style when I am in the coaching environment.
This has helped me find areas where I can find other people who can compliment my leadership style to work towards a common goal. I would demonstrate to my class and students that we need to find others to collaborate with who are different from us and can bring a new perspective on things.
