Blog #6

The leadership Style Test proved that my highest category was enabling others to act and my lowest to be challenging the process. I am actually surprised at how well these tests are getting my personality because the scores of each category make sense to me. I am very much a team person and want to help others succeed so enabling others to act makes sense as my highest category. I personally like to see things black and white as well, I don't mind rules or processes because I believe they are there for a reason so I tend to follow them. Therefore challenging the process is not something I do often and again makes sense that it would be my lowest scoring.

To work on improving this category though I would like to take more risks. I think to implement this strategy I want to start saying yes to more things. Instead of just following the idea I have laid out during the week of what I need to accomplish to not be afraid to say yes to more things. I like the idea of challenging myself more because it leads itself to learning more along the way.

  1. Hi Hailey! I also scored the highest in enabling others to act, and I believe this is because am am team-oriented as well and want everyone to succeed and contribute to the team's success as a whole. Challenging the process is definitely hard when you're used to playing by the rules and not thinking of other alternative ways of doing things, but I think taking more risks is a great place to start!

  2. Hailey, I agree with the fact that it is very surprising how these test keep accurately predicting my strengths. My top category was enabling others to act as well. This went right along with my top category in both the strength quests and VIA assessments, where my top strengths were harmony and social intelligence. Lastly, I can complete relate to your last paragraph where you want to improve on your weakest category. Although it may be easy to stay in our comfort zone and build on our top strength, I believe it will be very beneficial to improve the lower categories.

  3. Hailey, I totally feel the same way about the part to take more risks and say yes to more things! I am a very passive aggressive person and most of time I encourage others to take their chance but forget to challenge myself too.
