February 7 th , 2022 Leadership Styles Assignment #1 Kim McVeigh CDP 205 – LEGISLATION & SOCIAL POLICY

Kim McVeigh CDP205 Assignment #1 – Leadership Styles The leadership style I received is the “Diplomat” style. Diplomat style leaders’ rate high in feeling and prize interpersonal harmony. Diplomats are the “social glue” and affiliative force that keeps groups together, with their kind, social and giving personalities. Diplomats are able to have deep personal bonds with their employees and are able to resolve conflicts peacefully, usually avoiding conflicts in the first place. MORE My current role at PRYDE Learning Centre, is the Otherwise Approved ECE. I am also one of the Pedagogical Leaders and the Designate Supervisor of our centre. (Meaning that I perform the roles of supervisor when the supervisor is unavailable, without the title or compensation of Assistant Supervisor. Since I am not yet a member of the College of Early Childhood Educators, I am unable to hold the position of Assistant Supervisor.) When I received my results from the quiz, I was not surprised that my personal style and beliefs align with the diplomat style of leadership. I have never been someone who enjoys conflict and will try to avoid it if possible, usually using humour to deflect any negativity.

I am fiercely loyal to my room partners, preferring to defend their merits, rather than gossip about their shortcomings. As for the “social glue” that keeps groups together, I believe that sums me up perfectly! Although I don’t usually socialize with colleagues outside of work, I enjoy planning in-house team-building events throughout the year. For example, I usually plan lunch buffets or other events for staff birthdays, and various holidays.

Kim McVeigh CDP205 In researching the diplomat leadership style, I found some areas of need that could potentially cause some issues. For example, although diplomat leaders often prefer “focusing on putting their people in positions that leverage their strengths in order to achieve success,” (Murphy, 2015) there is less emphasis on challenging their employees. This could leave some employees feeling bored in their current positions, yearning to try something new. Another area of need would be that since diplomats usually are extremely polite and friendly and try to avoid conflict, they may find it difficult to give challenging feedback to others. (Rooke & Torbert, 2005) This knowledge of my leadership style could be used to further develop my skills as a Child Development Practitioner, by MORE
