Dynamic Leadership: A Reflective Approach

DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP

Executive Summary
Leadership style is critical for individual success or failure as the trait involves lots of internal as
well as external consideration on the basis of which the action, interaction, communication of the
individual may get influenced. Leadership is one of the most discussed aspects of HR theories
and the present paper discusses the same in the form of self-reflection. The paper focuses on the
author's own perception towards the leadership style and application of the same in own
workplace. Such discussion has been performed against the theoretical framework in this regard
and finally, the conclusion has been drawn accordingly.

1.0 Introduction
The leadership style may be considered to be one of the most significant personal traits for
oneself. Behavioural science researchers have always been into the attempt of analysing human
behaviour in the backdrop of the established theoretical framework in order to evaluate
individual attitude, skill and personality traits (Fleeson & Jayawickreme, 2015). As a result,
different leadership theories have emerged to date. The instant paper focussed on my personal
behavioural characteristics in the context of my own leadership style in my workplace. The paper
is, therefore, a reflection report that is structured systematically considering the different aspects
of the relevant theories and practices.
At the very outset of the study, I have introduced the topic followed by a brief overview of the
paper and its content flow. In the subsequent sections, I have provided a brief about my current
job role which I am assigned to. I have attempted to narrate my leadership journey so far in the
paper through various incidents and analysed the same against the theoretical framework in this
regard. While doing so, I have used Gallup Strength Finder Test Model to assess my leadership
abilities. Finally, I have wrapped up the discussion by way of a concluding note.
