week 5 discussion Discussion: Leadership Style and Constructive Feedback All of us by nature easily fall in love with our own ideas, our own words. Excellence is born of intelligent criticism. And maturity is the product of the self-confidence that seeks, accepts and benefits from criticism. —William Marsteller, Creative Management: A Euphemism for Common Sense Regardless of your professional status, effective communication—particularly the giving and receiving of effective feedback—is vital for the achievement of your goals. Whether your feedback is meant to inspire, motivate, resolve an issue, congratulate, or reprimand, you can achieve positive outcomes given the right delivery. Even in circumstances when you need to deliver difficult constructive feedback to someone, good communication skills can facilitate the recipient’s willing acceptance of your message. Giving and receiving constructive feedback is the norm throughout this doctoral program. For some doctoral scholars, it is second nature to give and receive constructive feedback, while others struggle for various reasons. You are gaining experience with this process during each weekly Discussion and, in some instances, your feedback experience is unique, such as in the “Pretend You Are the Instructor” Discussion you completed. Nevertheless, there are countless individuals who will provide you with feedback and many to whom you will give feedback. Developing the tactful skills of communication often takes practice, and understanding your personal leadership style is helpful. This week you will assess your leadership style, and you will give and receive constructive feedback during your Discussion concerning the outcomes of your assessment. Additionally, you will construct your Personal Development Plan as a guide for your success. To prepare for this Discussion, review the materials in the Learning Resources and complete “The New Drivers of Leadership” Self-Assessment, adapted from Casse (2014). Post an assessment of your results. In your assessment, do the following: Summarize your findings, including your scores for each Driver (energy, focus, speed, and challenge). Evaluate the validity of this assessment, including whether you agree or disagree with the scores. Explain how self-assessments such as the one you completed can help you “know [yourself] in terms of strengths and weaknesses” (Casse, 2014, p. 30). Delineate the measures you will take to improve your leadership competencies. Refer to the Week 5 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work. Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. By Day 5 Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ postings as follows: Provide constructive feedback on your colleague’s assessment by addressing the following questions: In what ways has your colleague provided a thorough self-assessment based on the outcome? In what ways could your colleague provide stronger evidence for or against the validity of his or her scores? Based on your colleague’s self-assessment, what are some additional, specific suggestions you have for enhancing his or her leadership competencies? In your response, consider both the content and clarity of writing. To support your assertions, provide appropriately cited references, either from this week’s Learning Resources or from your own research. Remember to balance positive feedback with constructive criticism where appropriate. Gloria Davon---- peer one There are four drivers of leadership according to Casse (2014). Casse outlines them as energy, focus, speed, and challenge. According to my self-assessment, energy is 42, focus is 189, speed is 87, and challenge is 95. I agree to some extent that this test is a valid assessment of drivers of leadership although I don’t believe its real-life application is more organic . The test creates an either /or situation when in fact these things unravel in shades of gray. For example, I love stimulating the views and actions of others’ as much as setting up clear objectives .yet I can only pick one or the other which made the whole exercise feel very academic to me. I agree that these scores are indicators of where I am in comparison to where I want to be. The score that concerned me most was energy. In fact, I took the test again because I thought I had made an error. I asked myself how someone who is so driven could have an energy score so low. If I interpret that score as an indicator of physical energy, then I am in full agreement. However, if speed is a derivative of energy then the speed score of 87 is baffling. Independent of this leadership self-assessment I already knew my energy is physically and emotionally because I am ill. So, I hope the number gets better as my physical and emotional state improve which should also have a significantly positive impact on “speed”. Although, there is always room for improvement, I am presently comfortable with “challenge” and “focus”, Takisha Griset-Adger ----peer 2 Leadership style can differ depending on the condition. The leadership at work may vary from home. The brain teaches you how to cope with a different situation. According to Nussbaum (2015), “Brain health needs to be a comprehensive and holistic approach because the brain is a highly complicated system that is cognitive, emotional, motoric, spiritual, and behavioral” (pg.31). Reading the article, I process my assessment scores. The scores I received on the assignment test are energy (134), focus (127), speed (114), and challenge (51). The outcome was actually surprising to me, thinking scoring higher on driver 4 – challenge. An effective leader should strive to be balanced. They must have the ability to look at any situation from the perspective of the four drivers (Casse, 2014, pg. 29). The energy drive “the ability to cope with an adverse condition” (Casse, 2014) score was accurate. Trying to balance my life with pursuing a doctoral, working in finance, and ensuring enough time for the family sometimes have me questioning my leadership skills. Taking the assessment, I thought the driver 2 and driver 3 score would have been the highest score. I take full pride in my leadership and understand the importance to stay intact and not easily distracted. In the finance department, quick decisions are made constantly, and I have to be ready at all times. Driver 4 challenge score caught me off-guard. I challenge myself daily with personal improvement, finding new ideas to bring to the team, and providing or receiving constructive feedback. In the last couple of weeks, I have taken several assessments between school and work; the outcome is always a surprise to me. Just recently, I took an evaluation named the “the animal in you”. The assessment based on personality and leadership skills. Assessment is an excellent tool to evaluate yourself by finding ways to improve. To improve my leadership skills, I will listen to the constructive feedback and asked questions. I will take the assessment every six months to see if I have enhanced in anyway. Reference Casse, P.
