FINAL JOURNAL3Final Journal1.1IntroductionThe success of any organization greatly depends on the astuteness of its leader. To be effective as a leader is not easy.It entails not only knowing what kind of leadership style to practice to suit everyone but also the ability to identify one's roles in the organization. Importantly, a leader should know that he or she is responsible for the actions taken by the organization or those of the company’s employees and thus has to have certain traits to direct, control or motivate his or her subordinates (Yukl, 2012). Since it is not easy to exercise perfection in leadership, a reflection of my own strengths and weaknesses is important in letting me know how far I am in my quest of becoming an effective leader.1.2 Discussion1.1.1 What I have learned about myselfThere is a lot that I have learned about myself regarding my leadership style and traits. To begin with, I am not headstrong, meaning that my preferred leadership style is participative. As such, I most of the time consider the inputs of other people whenever there is an important decision to be made. Autocratic leadership most of the time most of the time results in rebellion after some duration ( Salin & Hoel,2011). This knowledge has been instrumental in shaping up my leadership style, especially my stand that the best decision in any organization is usually that one arrived at when there is a consensus. The only major problem with this style of leadership is that it is time-consuming( Dolatabadi & Safa,2010). This means that most of the decisions I make as a leader usually take quite a long time to materialize in as much as they are usually very good choices. I have also learned that I am not a believer in the scientific theory of management.It focusses so much on the productivity at the expense of the emotional well-being of workers.
