Personal reflection
Leadership definition
From reading for the unit, I have developed my learning regarding leadership. In this way, I have
understood that leadership is the competency of an individual or set of individuals to persuade as
well as, instructs the followers or other members of the company. I have also used MLQ‐6S
measures that are considered as a leadership test. This tool is used to analyze my leadership on
seven factors related to transformational leadership. From the result, it is found that I have high
idealized influence, moderate inspirational motivation, moderate intellectual stimulation, and
moderate individualized consideration. I have also high contingent reward, moderate
management‐by‐exception, and low laissez‐faire leadership skills (Frohlich, and Oppenheimer,
2015).
In class, it was taught to me that leadership entails making the sound as well as, sometimes
complex decisions, developing as well as, express the comprehensible vision, developing
attainable goals, and increasing understanding and offering techniques that are required for
accomplishing those objectives (Heifetz, and Linsky, 2017). My result on leadership indicates
that I have high individualized influence that means I hold the high trust of subordinates and
show appeal to their hopes as well as, reams and act as their role model. For example, frequently,
if not always, I make others feel good to be around me.
Throughout lectures, I have increased my understanding that leaders are required to develop
knowledge on significant aspects such as from business to politics, regions as well as,
community-relied companies. This lecture also improved my learning that a significant leader
considers different characteristics such as management skills, strong communication as well as,
self-confidence. Another characteristic is a readiness to take uncertainties, reactiveness, openness

to change, levelheadedness, determination to deal with the failure as well as, creative and
innovative thinking during a crisis (Boin, Stern, and Sundelius, 2016).
Behaviour theory
Throughout the course content, I have developed my understanding related to behaviour theory.
In this way, I have learned that how a leader responds as well as, suppose that a leader could be
made as compared to born. In addition to this, I have observed that successful leadership relies
on definable as well as, learnable behaviour (Blanchard, 2015). From the result, I have focused
on my behaviour related to inspirational motivation i.e. moderate. It indicates that I moderately
provide the vision, use specific symbols as well as, images to support others to emphasize on
their works as well as, try to make feel to other that their work is essential. For example,
sometimes, I provide appealing images about what we can do. I would apply this learning into
future to use effective leadership.
Throughout attending lectures in class, I have also increased my understanding that behaviour of
a leader is the best forecaster for his leadership influences as well as, it is an effective
determinant for the success of leadership. I would like to apply these learning in using effective
leadership at the workplace. These theories focus on what a leader actually do as compared to
their qualities (Sanders, 2017).
I have developed my knowledge that different patterns of behaviours are classified as well as,
observed as a style of leadership. This area is probably influenced by most attention through
practicing top authority (Ward, 2016). From a result, it is addressed that I have a moderate extent
of intellectual stimulation to which, I lead others to be creative in terms of focusing on old issues
in new modes. I am also able to develop an atmosphere that is tolerant for apparently extreme
positions, as well as, cherish an individual to focus on their beliefs along with values of those of
