PERSONAL LEADERSHIP APPROACH 1
Introduction
Leadership concept is concerned with the process of influencing a group of people in
order to achieve the desired objectives. This makes possible the proper managing of the
organization by utilizing the leadership skills and knowledge that helps in the attainment of
the specific goal (Mowat & McMahon, 2019). Further, it is essential for me to determine
my leadership style and the personal approach that will examine the leadership frameworks.
Also, certain leadership approaches are required by the person in order to deal with the
situation. Here, the assignment is based on my personal reflection on personal leadership
approach that I would undertake in a specific situation. It has considered the evaluation of my
leadership behaviours through the application of the specific leadership theories
demonstrating the specific ways to deal with the group of people. Also, it has also considered
the leadership framework that consist of the principles for leading the people depending upon
my experiences. I have made the analysis of my experiences through the determination of the
leadership frameworks.
Identification of My Personal Behaviour
For the undertaking of the effective leadership, it is essential for me to determine my
own behaviour in terms of leading a specific population. There are various leadership theories
that determine the appropriate style and the significant ways for leading and managing people
effectively (Amanchukwu, Stanley, & Ololube, 2015). Further, there is Great Man
Theory of leadership that explains that the person has certain inborn characteristics or
features which are specifically the distinctive in nature. These can include competency,
integrity, honesty and intelligence which can be used by the leaders for the leading of the
organization (Lee, 2018). By relying on this theory, it can be said that I have some specific
qualities which are inborn in me. I am intelligent and honest which are different from others
and often can ne used by me for the effective management of the group of people.
Also, there is one more theory called Trait theory which is based on the Great Man
Theory and explains that the leaders possess the specific personality traits and correct
abilities. It is assumed that the leader has the specific behavioural characteristics that suits the
leadership (Pidgeon, 2017). Moreover, I have the features or personality trait of self-
confidence, cognitive ability and the knowledge of business which are the basis of my
personality traits. By the application of this specific theory, I can understand that I have the
specific quality which helps me in the detailed analysis of the leader element. Further,

behavioural theory can be understood for the identification of the particular leadership style
(Raelin, 2017). This theory of leadership is different from the above theories. As per
behavioural theory, leadership can be learned and cannot be inherited. The theory majorly
focuses on the action of the leaders rather than their qualities. Similarly, by relying on this
theory of leadership, I can observe that my interactions with the environmental forces and
ultimately, this shows my different approaches for engagement and involvement. Also, my
participate decision making can be seen from this theory.
Further, situational theory of leadership demonstrates that the leader undertakes the
leadership approaches through the determination of the needs of the specific situation.
Moreover, my situational approach can be seen from my actions and decisions in the
situation. I have determined that I am a participative person as I always have the tendency to
be collaborative and involve others into the specific activity. This style of leadership is
democratic leadership which seeks to provide responsibility to the employees and increase
their confidence (McKeown & Carey, 2015). Further, there is coach style is included in the
situational theory in which leader is supposed to provide the necessary support, guidance and
provide the necessary motivation to the employee for improving the productivity of the
organization (Hsieh & Liou, 2018). I have observed that I have the quality to be a coach in
which I have supportive skills and often give due respect to the valuable feedback of others.
Furthermore, authoritative is the kind of leadership style to be used in the situational theory.
This seeks to evaluate the leadership behaviour in terms of rules and regulations and is
intended to be formal in nature (Li, Liu, & Luo, 2018). However, my leadership behaviour
can be seen from this style in which I am strict and take independent decision with little
involvement of others.
Additionally, my personal leadership behaviour can also be seen from the application
of Laissez Faire theory of leadership in which the leaders give responsibility to their
employees without getting involve into the decision-making process. Also, theory states that
the leaders can completely rely on the fellow teammates (Buch, Martinsen, & Kuvaas,
2015). Similarly, my leadership behaviour can be seen from this theory in which I have
determined that I can give full accountability of decision without any interference. Moreover,
I can use this kind of leadership as I am quite lazy and often believe that my team is efficient.
Further, there is transactional theory of leadership which is based on the exchange
mechanism that seek to elaborate the relationship between the followers and the leaders. This
theory states that positive relationships with the employees through the mutual reinforcing
