Dynamic Leadership
1. The survey captured 5 strengths of mine which are known as Achiever, Includer,
Adaptability, Responsibility and Context. The survey says that I am a great achiever and
dedicated to achieve whatever I want with hard work and dedication. About being an
includer, I like to be with the people who include other people in the team and do not like
to be with the people who avoid other. I am a very responsible person when it comes to
managing with my duties as well as my work. In case if I am unable to deliver anything, I
feel that it is for me to look up to the methods so that I can complete my responsibility.
About me being an adapter, I live in present and not think about the future at all. If talked
about context, I am a person who look back in my past a lot of times. To understand the
present or to think about something if something is not right in my present, I tend to look
back. This is what the survey tells about me.
2. The initial reaction which I had towards the result was quite amusing and exciting as I
was surprised to know some things about me and felt a little different from the above
strengths that I have. For example: I felt surprising that I look back in the past because I
am a person who feels that one should not look in the past as past might bring a feeling of
regret and if one looks in the past then he or she cannot move ahead in life(Yukl, 2010).
Then I also felt amused to see that I am an includer as this is very right about me. I feel
like helping everyone and feel bad in avoiding anyone. I feel good where there are people
who are helpful and include others in their teams. Though, I have received a feedback
from people that I need to be more responsible towards my work or duties.
3. The current leadership is about being effective in any way one can and its effects should
be seen when a firm or any leader is able to achieve something great. Leaders just do not
focus on the development but they also focus on the process of going towards the
development. I feel that there will be more integrity in the future leaders(Yammarino).
Two of my strengths that are responsibility and includer, can help me become a good leader in
the present. My effectiveness as a leader can definitely increase with these two strengths that I
have. With the feedback that I need to be more responsible, I will be able to become more prone
towards my duties and can do my tasks in a way that I am able to achieve the goal. Also,
including other people in teams is one of the qualities that a leader of today’s world should
possess. Hence, these two qualities can enhance my work as a leader in current scenario(Day,
2012).
