DNP 840 Describe your leadership style based on the leadership assessment
According to Dawes (2015) leadership development test the primary leadership style is transformational. The score obtained was 67 out of 80. The four elements of this model include idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration. Inspirational motivation and individual consideration had the highest score of 18. The element of inspirational motivation entails having the ability to motivate others to commit. In the individual consideration element leaders can act as a couch and advisor and encourage others to be successful within the organization. The third higher score was obtained in the idealized influence at a 16, which is the ability to be an exemplary model, thus allows for other ream members to be trusted and gain respect. Peers often trust that these individuals will make the best decisions. The intellectual stimulation element was the lowest score of 15. In this section leaders can encourage innovation and creativity while challenging current beliefs of specifics groups. Intellectual Property stimulations promotes critical thinking and the ability to solved problems. Despite its benefits it is important that this approach is not transferrable to all scenarios. Understanding these limitations that exist help be better leaders. Known areas of which it may not be appropriate are when there is not enough time to gather everyone’s opinion, when it is simpler and more cost effective fore an executive decision to be made, and in short- term crisis. Understanding strengths and weaknesses as it is promising but some researchers argue it is debatable and increase practical usage is needed (Yaslioglu & SelenayErden, 2018). The leaner will be able to take staff perceptions and patients satisfaction and meet the institutions vision, mission, values, and philosophy (Alloubani, et al. 2019).
The second leadership style identified is the Transactional (Dawes, 2015). A score of 66 was obtained out of 80. A total of two elements are identified which include contingent rewards and management by exception. The highest score of 38 was in the contingent reward which describes that rewards are given only in circumstances where there is good performance, and accomplishments. A score of 28 was received in the management by exception where the leader does not seek to change current working environment if performance is meet and only intervene when something goes wrong. This is an additional leadership style that has been identified to be used over the course of the direct practice improvement. The benefit to this process is that it assists in dealing with individuals who do not know task to perform and procedures to flow. It also provides supervision and detailed orders and instructions and is effective when members do not respond to other leadership styles. Lastly it is beneficial in circumstances in which there is small amount of time to make decisions. With the strengths of both the transformational and transactional leadership elements the leaner will be able to effectively execute the future project in a professional and feasible manner.
