Questionnaire Activity Template We have used questionnaires in this course to help you identify your perceptions and preferences on the different aspects of leadership. Now you will take the data (scoring interpretations) from each of the four questionnaires to compile the information and begin to develop your unique combination of the aspect to define your personal leadership model. To develop your model, first analyze the scoring interpretation from each questionnaire. Using the chart below, record your responses from each of the questionnaires. As a reminder, the scoring interpretation from each of the questionnaires is shown below: Questionnaire 1.3 (Northouse, 2021): The scores you received on this questionnaire provide information about how you define and view leadership. The emphasis you give to the various dimensions of leadership has implications for how you approach the leadership process. For example, if your highest score is for trait emphasis , it suggests that you emphasize the role of the leader and the leader’s special gifts in the leadership process. However, if your highest score is for relationship emphasis , it indicates that you think leadership is centered on the communication between leaders and followers, rather than on the unique qualities of the leader. By comparing your scores, you can gain an understanding of the aspects of leadership that you find most important and least important. The way you think about leadership will influence how you practice leadership. Questionnaire 3.3 (Northouse, 2021): This questionnaire is designed to measure three common styles of leadership: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. By comparing your scores, you can determine which styles are most dominant and least dominant in your own style of leadership. Questionnaire 4.3 (Northouse, 2021): This questionnaire is designed to measure your task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership behavior. By comparing your scores, you can determine which style is more dominant in your own style of leadership. If your task score is higher than your relationship score, you tend to give more attention to goal accomplishment and somewhat less attention to people-related matters. If your relationship score is higher than your task score, your primary concern tends to be dealing with people, and your secondary concern is directed more toward tasks. If your scores are very similar to each other, it suggests

that your leadership is balanced and includes an equal amount of both behaviors. Questionnaire 5.3 (Northouse, 2021): The Leadership Skills Questionnaire is designed to measure three broad types of leadership skills: administrative, interpersonal, and conceptual. By comparing your scores, you can determine where you have leadership strengths and where you have leadership weaknesses. Northouse, Introduction to Leadership, 5e , SAGE Publishing, 2021. Questionnaire Topic Highest scoring area(s) If you have two areas very close in score please include both. How this area’s score impacts your ideas about leadership (hint- check scoring interpretation to identify the area of leadership being assessed.) An Example Relationship emphasis This score indicates that I feel the emphasis for leaderships should be on the relationship or interaction between the leader and the followers. Q 1.3- Definition and view of leadership Relationship emphasis I like creating relationships with my coworkers. Q 3.3- Identify your style of leadership Laissez-Faire Leadership I trust my coworkers to do their best at the tasks they are given instead of having me by their side. I will step in when needed. Q 4.3- Measure task and relationship- oriented leadership behavior Relationship oriented Leadership My score shows that I prioritize relationship leadership over task oriented because the drive to have the one-on-one contact with the coworkers. I still can complete task when needed. Q 5.3- Measure three broad types of Strength is interpersonal. My strengths are interpersonal the ability to inspire and engage others. Reminds me of relationship

leadership skills Weakness is administrative. leadership. My weakness is administrative because I’m more of a people person then to sit at a desk and do tasks that way. I can do can but that’s my weakness out of three of these leaderships. Now that you have the initial set of information from the questionnaires, you will need to analyze the responses in relation to each other. To do this you will prioritize which of your scores you feel is the most important to you in the development of your personalized leadership model. Please review the scores you listed above and consider which you think is most important to your development as a leader. Next, rank the four areas below, with the area you feel is most important first and the least important in the fourth position. You should have one from each of the questionnaires listed below. Example Your responses 1. Democratic Leadership Style 1. 3rd 2. Relationship emphasis 2. Most important 1st 3. Balanced relational and task orientation 3. Least important 4th 4. Primary strength Conceptual with secondary Interpersonal strength 4. 2 nd Take a moment to review the data shown above, both your highest scoring areas on each of the questionnaires and the prioritization you assigned to the four areas related to leadership. For the last portion of this assignment, write a summary of the insights you have gained about your leadership using the key ideas from the questionnaires. In a paragraph of at least five sentences or more, share your insights to address the questions below:  Looking at this information from the questionnaires, what is most surprising to you about your leadership preferences? What is surprising about my leadership preferences is that I’m a people person more of a sit-down person. I do best at trying to engage in my fellow coworkers to do their best and to work towards goals

 Reflect on some of the opportunities you have had to lead others either at work or in another activity—how well does this assessment of your preferences align with your actions in the past? In the past jobs I had to be a leader at certain times and push my coworkers to complete tasks on time. I loved my job in the past because I was a likeable person and they listened and took my advice.  What is one action you can take now to help you continue to develop your leadership skills to align with the areas you consider your leadership preferences, based on the information from the questionnaires? I am a more relationship-oriented leader. I am a leader at my past job, and I feel Laissez-Faire Leadership fits me. I expect my coworkers to know what tasks need to be accomplished, so that I can trust them to do it at their own pace. I will step in when needed, but I trust that they can do it. That’s the only way they are going to learn how to do it and do it on their own pace. I am willing to build relationships with those I work with to help identify any needs that may come.
