*I have to begin with my T-P Leadership ratio of concern for production to concern for people at 1 to 6. Originally I had thought that this couldn’t have been accurate. However, as I reflected on some of my past managerial duties, I began to realize that this ratio/score might be a proper representation of my style of leadership. The reason that I say this is that I typically lead less by barking orders and repeated requests of lets go-go-go and more of a lead by example style with gentle words of encouragement now and then. As I recall, the past results of this type of managing was mixed, sometimes working well and sometimes not so well. As an administrator/principal, I will have to be mindful of this personal trait and be careful that my seemingly over-concern for people doesn’t negatively affect the task completing side of my job. As we have discussed in class a handful of times, being an effective leader has to start with being a good manager.The relations-oriented aspect of leadership might also be an area of concern I have to monitor and continue to develop. I genuinely care for all people and want to see them happy, but too many times struggle making personal connections and remembering the struggles of others. I catch myself missing opportunities to ask people how they are doing as well as remembering to be specific with current struggles that they have recently shared with me. I constantly try to self diagnose why this is and could bore you with some possible reasoning behind it, but will save that for another day. The bottom line is that I need to continue to reflect and improve my interpersonal skills in order to raise my effectiveness as an administrator or even now as a teacher.A possible struggle comes to mind when it comes to change-oriented behaviors. To make it short and sweet, I will need to follow through with the implementation of a change. This would be the most challenging part of ‘change’ for me.* -- *Happiness is a proper balance of preparation and recreation.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
