Part A
Your Leadership style
I would prefer to use both democratic and strength based leadership style. Teams need
strengths-based leadership so they can be strong mentally and physically. In most cases leaders
who focus on strength-based easily achieve their objectives because the team is always mentally
ready to face anything. Democratic will be practiced when a strong team is allowed to
communicate and have a part in the decision-making process. The importance of a strong
democratic team is that it becomes effective and efficient in every decided activity. Every team
member with time gets the capability to make sound decisions for the better of any organization.
Leadership principles that you would not be willing to violate (Priest, 2017).
Principles that I would not violate
Leadership principles help leaders to focus on the target goals of the team. There those
leadership styles that a leader is not willing to violate because they may lead to poor decision
making. Firstly, the focus is one of the principles a true leader has to possess in order to
understand the needs of his or her team. Focus generally refers to the concentration of what is
required. As leader one has to ensure is aware of the main purpose of the group and focus on it to
produce the expected goals. No leader will want to lose focus on the agendas of the group
because right decisions constantly occur with right concentration. Secondly, I will keep

Furthermore, transparency is one of the principles as a leader am not ready to violate.
Transparency helps a leader to be reminded of the progress of the planned goals and how far is
willing to go to achieve success. Transparency in a democratic leadership team helps to bring
honesty and authenticity in the activities. The accuracy of information is shared among people
and they are able to track time of events (Liu, 2015).
The Impact of Personal beliefs on your leadership approach
Personal beliefs such as religion have a great impact on leadership style practiced by any
leader. Religion such as Christianity uses different leadership models such as encouraging the
congregation, motivating and challenging them to become better. Religion functions as the pillar
of ethics, beliefs, and morals, therefore, shaping society. The main principle of religion to its
members is to provide spiritual guidance and shape personal beliefs. Moreover, personal beliefs
can sound like an excuse to fail, in most cases most politicians when they fail to produce the
intended program they evoke God whenever they fail to accomplish their responsibilities. ‘That’s
God’s will’ and ‘With God, we will overcome’ that’s a say most leaders use in a crisis. Personal
beliefs advocate morals and ethics amongst supporters which in turn dictate how the relationship
will be among the followers in the organization (Komives, 2016).
Moreover, religion is related to a higher ethical verdict. Leaders who parade religious
outlook are likely to notice an ethical difficulty facing a union as opposed to those who lack
sacred background. Personal belief does ensure that people have trust in the proposed agenda.
This helps to build a strong team which has maximum faith in their leader to reach their desired
