Trait theory
The trait model of leadership is being developed depending on the behavioral
characteristics of individuals (Prentice, Jayawickreme & Fleeson, 2018). In the trait leadership
model both the positive and negative characteristics of the leaders are being reflected. Analyzing
my characteristics, I have identified that strong self-confidence, honesty and emotional
maturity are the three traits of mine. I always try to provide the honest feedbacks to others and I
also love to get back the same from others. Few days back in a corporate meeting, where
individuals were asked for commenting on the management decision. In the session, everyone
have supported the decision of the management for avoiding the debate, rather than supporting
the wrong decision, I gave my honest feedback against the decision. During my class, I have
asked to make a presentation on an unfamiliar topic. Rather than being afraid I handled the entire
presentation in proper manner, which had impressed the audience. I believe, my situational
handling ability makes me confident towards fulfilling my responsibilities. Using my emotional
intelligence skills, I can easily get connected with others.
I believe the situational analysis ability of mine is another important personality trait that
can also be beneficial for becoming a good leader. This quality of mine helps me to blend myself
in different situation, which increase my challenge accepting ability. I believe, using this
leadership skill, it will be easier for me to develop strong image on the mind of my coworkers
and convince them towards contributing in handing the situation.
In the self-assessment, it has been analyzed by me that the behavioral traits which can
help me to become an effective leader. As per my understanding, emotional situation of mine can
help me using my emotional intelligence skills, I can maturely handle the difficult situations. An

effective leader should have the ability to encourage individuals towards achieving the goals. I
believe, depending on my behavioral traits I can motivate others in proper manner, which will
bring both the professional and personal development of the individuals.
Situational, Transformational and servant leadership
Situation leadership style is something in which depending on the situational
requirement, the leader adopts different characteristics for influencing the followers (Oreg &
Berson, 2015). As per my understanding by providing the high supportive environment of work,
the situational leader motivate the employees towards achieving their goals. In the situational
leadership practices group performance and situational analysis ability of the leader are being
reflected. In case of transformational leadership, depending on the needs of individuals the
changes are being introduced in the workplace (Tepper et al., 2018). I believe, a transformational
leader execute the changes by inspiring thee team members. The philosophy of transformational
leadership is being developed depending on the idealized influence, individualized consideration,
inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation. Depending on the natural feeling of serving,
the servant leadership practices are being implemented in the workplace (Sfantou et al., 2017).
The philosophy of servant leader is to enrich the lives of individuals by creating the caring
environment.
Among all the three approaches, I believe, transformational leadership will be more
effective than the others. In case of transformational leadership practices demands and needs of
the individuals are being analyzed, which can play an effective role for increasing the employee
engagement. By continuing this, it can be said that in the process of transformational leadership,
decision of individuals are being observed and change initiatives are being adopted. However, in
