Journal 3 The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 5X short form is a survey that covers three parts of a personal leadership profile: transformational, transactional, and passive/avoidant leadership. These three styles of the (MLQ) model offer a wide range of factors to measure a self-perception of a leadership behavior. The leadership behaviors are laid out and explained throughout the Northouse, and Avolio respective chapters on transformational leadership. Despite of various leadership theories been stated throughout the years, Bass and Avolio (1990) frame the transformational leadership theory as “leaders move followers to accomplish more than what is usually expected of them.

It is favorable considering that I have not been in a leadership position leading a large group or team. However, looking at the questionnaire, I would probably consider making changes on factors 2, 3, and 5 especially, on factor 5 (individualized consideration). Factor 5 deals with “helping others to develop their strengths,” which offers a very practical solution: “to try and listen more carefully, to coach individuals based on their actual needs” (Northouse, 2016, p. 169, para, 4). Although the survey may not be so accurate because of my situation, it does give me a sense of what I need to change and do in order to better my leadership style.

In the line of work, my father has been an example of inspirations for achieving things through hard work , but I do not have a particular person that has profoundly influence me in such a way that I want to simile to that specific person, except Jesus. It may sound catastrophic, but in certain manner this may reflect just about what my personal life presently represents, a total chaos. I do have to give credit to my father though for being such a good example especially, when talking relatively about achievements. Thus, the attributes that immediately come to my mind regarding my father are self-reliance, honest, and dedicated. My father is a person that even though he does not speak English, he has manage himself to remain in the same job for almost thirty years, at the same time that he supports his family without having to rely much on public assistance. He is truthful
