Delegative Leadership Style

Improved Essays
While taking the Leadership Style survey, I struggled with answering the questions due to the fact that my role as a leader is currently limited. I currently am involved in smaller leadership roles at my school such as being a mentor to a new teacher and being part of the leadership team. Without being in a major leadership role, I had to make some predictions of how I would respond to many of the questions asked during the survey. Also while completing the survey I was somewhat worried about what my results may show me. Would I be a leader that was to controlling and micromanaging? Or would my results go in another direction and show that I was too lenient and laissez faire? The results of my survey were that I scored thirty-seven points for …show more content…
My score for this style was thirty points and falls within seven points of my participative leadership style, therefore, I am likely to use both the participative and delegative styles equally. The delegative style of leadership is best used when followers are ready to complete a task and are fully capable of taking full responsibility for completing the task. Unlike the participative style, the delegative style leaves the group to make the decisions and provides little or no guidance to the group. This style is best used when the individuals of the group are highly qualified leaders. The delegative style is not recommend to use where the employees are new because it can cause a decline in self confidence to those individuals because they may not be fully capable of successfully completing a task. In order for this type of style to be effective, the leader must really know their employees by being able to describe their staff interests and their staffs’ individual strengths and weaknesses. When reviewing the items that are representative of the delegative style, I only scored a 5 on one item which was number 27. Item 27 said, “Staff members should establish their own goals and objectives.” I believe that this is vital for staff members to complete. When individuals make their own goals they are more willing to work on those goals then if they were delegated the goal and objective. Another item

    The different perspective of certain leadership style (trait vs process) and (assigned and emergent) discussed in class has given me a clear understanding of their pros and cons whilst making comparison on how some of these leadership style being practiced back home. Process leadership do practice in most government departments however, during the last nine years of military rule, it was greatly restricted in some instances due to the dominant position of leadership with coercion power to make policy changes by our political leaders. Over the years, I do agree that this is not an ideal leadership style that many people including most public officials prefer, but people need to obey and follow any new rules imposed in order to avoid punishment…

    To improve my leadership style I have to discuss first the great concern at the moment is the lack of preparation of the nursing educators for the direction roles. Since academic leadership has been shown to affect teacher satisfaction and retention and affects the health of the work environment in general (Brady, 2010; Siddique, Aslam, Khan, & Fatima, 2011). The success of the organization depends on the competence of its leaders. The National League for Nursing (NLN) Excellence in Nursing Education Model (2006) represents eight core competencies in nursing education needed to gain excellence in education. Leadership encompasses evidence-based teaching and assessment; mentoring of new educators; advance in the profession; become citizens of…

It was interesting to watch the morning rush from a different perspective; I also had the opportunity to help my peers locate their nurses to receive report.

Having the opportunity to help my peers with patient care, focus their assessments and manage their time was a great experience. Having the ability to assist my peers and improve their quality of care helped me to feel comfortable in my role as the charge nurse.…

    The second leadership style is transactional, which is described as a leader who “motivates by contact and reward, promising followers rewards for good performance and focusing on rules and procedures” (Bass, 1990, p.48). A great example of this would be Bill Gates, Bill was able to develop computer programs and once Microsoft launched, he went and contacted different groups to not only motivate them, but to make sure that the information that he was sharing was being internalized and understood by his employees so that they could all be on one accord and keep the goal of the company first plus make profit as well. The last style is servant leadership. Servant leadership is a “People centered approach to leadership that emphasizes the interaction between leader and follower and underscores how…
