Findings
Both of these assessment tools are the most accurate tools for conducting the survey of
leadership. Both help in assessing the best leadership style that can be operated in the
business.
In the first Self -Assessment tool “42” is the highest score, which reflects that the
participative style is the leadership style, which is most commonly used according to the
environment of the company (Clark, 1998).
Some of the nest leader founded that work out of the participative style & use the additional
two models as and when required in their business. The uppermost of all three scores indicate
the type of guidance, which is being currently using in the business.
The difference among all the 3 scores reflects that there is no specific opinion regarding the
management style.
The management who want to grow their employees always uses the participative style of
leadership. As the employee grows in their job, they are agreed with more authority and
responsibility.
This leadership style is that type of the managerial leadership style, which aims to take more
inputs from the employee for all the company decision. The staffs are also facilitated by the
important information of the company issue and the course of action, which the company will
take and governed by the majority of votes.

The second assessment tool scores “7.4” in case of the concern for people and “7” in case of
the concern for task. As per the leadership matrix diagram score of “7.4 to 7”, reflects that the
team leadership model is the most beneficial leadership style i.e., strong on both people skills
and tasks (Clark, 2015).
There are four types of leadership style, which could be understood as per the score of these
two assessment tools.
As per the matrix diagram in the assessment tool 2, the quad in which the 2 lines meet each
other is the leadership style, in the case of this, there is team leadership model.
In the finding, it has been founded, that there are several team leadership model; Hill team
model is one if the best-known model. This model continue with the leadership decision as to
where they have to take the decision or monitor the decision based on the internal and
external actions, but the main aim is to focus on the effectiveness of the team (Clark, 2015).
The first step is to monitor the actions or take the actions for the decision-making process.
Structuring and information search are two phases in this search.
Strength and improvement
The strength of the participative leadership style is that it helps the worker in respect or
their perspectives. This leadership helps the company in listening to the suggestion of the
worker, which can help the company from causing a major mistake or negatively affected
worker morale (Lam, 2015).
This leadership helps in increasing staff productivity. This leadership help the company’s

It helps in creating the creative environment as this leadership reflects in the free flow of the
ideas. This helps the worker to collaborate with each other, which result in a positive
environment in the company. The company, are likely to develop a stronger team with the
help of this type of leadership, which helps in increasing the trust and respect between team
members. This leadership leader helps in converting the rejections into the opportunity and
has a streamlined decision-making process.
There are various areas of the improvements, which should be focused more:
1. Timely decision-making: As many people are elaborate in the decision-making
procedure, it leads to delay in the decision. This delay can cause frustration among the
employees and can hinder the workflow. Urgent decision-making on an urgent basis,
cannot be facilitated from this leadership, this is one of the areas, which needs to improve
in the democratic leadership.
2. Crisis: As this leadership involves various opinions from others so it very difficult for
them to take the decision, which does not have the time for the decision making process
and considering the suggestion of various members.
3. There should be a focus group. A leader cannot work, without the insights from his team
so there should be a focused group for the effective result.
4. The leaders in this leadership style should focus on conducting the surveys as in this the
leader is mainly concerned, with the happiness of the employees.
5. Improve the process of the company
6. Motivate the employee in developing their ideas towards the success of the company
7. This leadership style mainly focuses on developing the leader as a facilitator (Paris,
2009).
