Dynamic leadership3IntroductionLeadership is the capacity and the ability of a person to inspire, motivate and encourage a group of followers. It is an important aspect with respect to an individual as well as an organization (Bolman, 2017). The leadership abilities vary from person to person. There is a strong set of values, traits and intelligence that define the kind of a leader a person will be (Northouse, 2015). Leadership is a very crucial aspect of any individual as it largely defines with an individual’s ability to lead, guide, motivate and inspire people (Fairhurst, 2014). It is considered to be an important quality in one’s career. Hence it becomes imperative for individuals to identify and work on their leadership abilities early in time. In this course module, I have deeply reflected upon my leadership skills and the value set that governs the same. I have been a part of various online surveys and taken a genuine and honest feedback from my friends in order to understand my leadership abilities. In this report I have attempted to understand and fully document the various aspects of my leadership style and abilities.Leadership Discovery1: ValuesSchwarz’s values and motivational domainsSchwarz has pioneered the study of values. He believes that values are long term and not mere attitudes to different situations. Based upon this thinking, he came to build the “Schwarz’s theoryof basic value”. In this theory, he has reasoned that values are goals for motivation and therefore basic values must be derived by basic needs of humans namely our biological needs, our need to coordinate with others and the need for the group to survive and flourish (Marcus, 2017).These basic needs of humans drive their basic values and shape the personality of an individual. Schwarz identified 10 basic needs of a human and related various set of values with those 10 needs.
Dynamic leadership4I sincerely read the chapter 8 of Personal values from ‘Success with soul’ (Sun, 2014) and established that my top 3 values are as below:1.Honesty – One of my top most quality as per analysis is honesty. I have always been an honest person and I really do not indulge in lying. Many of my friends have often lied in order to get out of school or any such responsibility but I have ensured that I don’t lie. I strongly believe that honesty is very crucial to develop and maintain trust. I have realized that this value belongs to the domain of Benevolence (Schwarz, 2014).2.Broadmindedness – My second most important quality is my broadmindedness which fitsunder the module of universalism. Since my teenage years, I have been very liberal in myviews and I do not easily get offended. I do no judge people and I really understand that every individual thinks, behaves and acts differently. 3.True friendship – For me friendship is very important. I am a very social person and havea lot of friends. However, I have a set of 4 friends who are very close to me and I really value their friendship. This is a part of the security module. I believe, these true friendships provide a sense of security and safety.
Dynamic leadership51.2 Schwarz’s online survey (Appendices 2)While in the process of understanding my values, I also took the online survey of Schwarz’s value scale. The findings of which were as below. This survey made me realize that I score highest in Hedonism and Self-direction. This implies that I am a very motivated person but I alsobelieve strongly in my personal pleasure and happiness (Caprara, 2016). As a person I don’t value traditions much as I believe they pull us down. Also these traditions and customs probably suited ancient times but are not necessarily valid today.DomainScorePower3.7Achievement4.2Hedonism5Stimulation3Self-direction5Universalism2.2Benevolence4.2Tradition0Conformity4Security2.8
