Skills and Style Survey social science assignment help

/in /by

In opposition to Trait Theory, which focuses on whether a leader is born with specific traits needed to be a leader, the Skills Approach focuses on skills that can be learned. The Style Approach then expands on that idea by focusing on the behaviors of leaders, both with regard to tasks and to relationships.

To prepare for this Assignment, visit the “Skills Inventory” and the “Leadership Behavioral Questionnaire” in your course text,Leadership: Theory and Practice. Complete each survey and be as honest and objective as you can. Keep your scores for analysis in the Final Research Paper.

Write a2- to 3-pagepaper describing your experience with the “Skills Inventory” and with the “Leadership Behavior Questionnaire.” Analyze how your responses indicate your personal leadership philosophy. Describe any questionnaire results that may have surprised you. Apply the characteristics of the Behavioral Approach and the Behavioral to your personal leadership style. Explain how these characteristics might help you become a more effective leader.
