My Leadership styles by Alan Lovell https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2 What's your preferred leadership style? en-us 2019-01-06 21:40:46 UTC 2025-12-08 17:18:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Alan alanlovell2 https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/317704087 I can see the benefit of all leadership styles (even autocratic) dependent on the situation and context.
 In a  situation where, for instance, health and safety measures or speed of response is needed then a slightly more autocratic style may be beneficial.
 However, my preferred style would be a mixture of participative/democratic and  transformational. I feel it is important to be transparent and visible as a leader as well as motivational. 
Collaborating with staff may enable them to feel greater levels of empowerment and job satisfaction,  potentially leading to increased productivity. Also, staff may have great ideas for the organisation that would not get heard unless there is an inclusive and supportive culture evident.

Additionally, I believe in focusing on smaller goals in order to complete the overall task more efficiently. 
Democratic because listening and using ideas input by other team members is important. It gives others a sense of importance and contribution to the task.]]> 2019-01-14 10:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320210882 Hannah hanscarb https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320210961 I think I prefer to have a democratic leadership style,. This is because I enjoy hearing other peoples opinions and would also like to have someone managing me with a democratic leadership style. Hearing others opinions help me to make decisions and to gain ideas as a group and not just on my own. The democratic leadership style helps everyone in the team to feel included and boosts the teams satisfaction with the work they all helped contribute to. ]]> 2019-01-14 10:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320210961 Gabriella https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211045 My leadership style is democratic, as I believe that it allows everybody in a group to have input in the decisions made creating fair opportunity and everybody is productive. Also it can help create shared responsibility and better communication.However, I am able to understand that in certain circumstances autocratic leadership would be more effective, for example when a decision has to be made quickly.]]> 2019-01-14 10:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211045 Marek https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211074 i feel like i have a democratic leadership style. i listen to peoples opinions and criticism so i know what they want and know how they want to be treated. good communication will always generate great results. on the other hand, i can also be a transactional leader. depending on my job title and the responsibilities i have. sometimes thing have to get done. i may come across a bit harsh at times but its only when I've asked a couple times for the task to be complete and i get tired of asking. ]]> 2019-01-14 10:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211074 Joana https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211134 I believe my leadership style is transactional. This is because as a leader to accomplish a goal  as a team you have to be able to set targets as well as rewards. By giving out rewards your employers will work harder and will feel motivated to reach the same goal. On the other hand i also feel like i am Participative/Democratic as i believe everyone's opinion matters. This will also boost team members confidence and will also make them feel important.Taken their opinion into consideration is very important.]]> 2019-01-14 10:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211134 bill william_mcgillivray https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211259 i believe i am a democratic leader because i hate capitalism. my leadership style is equal distribution of work with no hierarchy. i do maintain control but as a topic manager bing out the best in peoples abilities.  ]]> 2019-01-14 10:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211259 Iulia https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211345 I prefer the democratic leadership style because I consider that it is very important for the employees to have an opinion and to feel as if their opinion really matters, that makes them more confident. This style is also effective for the employer, because there is strong collaboration between the leader and the rest of the employees; that leads to an accurate feedback and beneficial changes ]]> 2019-01-14 10:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211345 Denisa https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211603 I believe I am a democratic leadership because I always listen to people's opinion and take them into account which brings confidence for every team member.

I feel like listening to other people opinions makes me see things in a different light and point of view and I get to understand why they do the things the way they do and this also means there is also a room for improvement ]]> 2019-01-14 10:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211799 Diana https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320211888 I personally believe the transformational and democratic styles best suit me because communication is the most important skill in a team.

The reasons behind this is because it depends on the situation that you're in. Often some work places will need different approaches with leadership styles such as democratic where you need input from team members.]]> 2019-01-14 10:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320212063 stevy https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320212292 I can see myself as a Leadership but I do confuse my self sometimes because I do not listening to other's sometimes and I really need to learn about it.

From previous experience working in groups, I have shown that I consistently follow the transformational style as I like to keep on track with everyones progress.  Despite this, I have an understanding that an autocratic style may work best in certain situations.]]> 2019-01-14 16:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320367464 Rosie https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320367737 If i was in a team then i would like the group to be run democratically. However, I feel as though if i were to be the leader I would have a democratic style mixed sometimes with autocratic. I am a good listener and enjoy communication within a team and believe that everyone deserves a chance to voice their opinion. however, i will not take any nonsense and will have the final say.]]> 2019-01-14 16:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320367737 Riley https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320368622 As leadership styles depend on different situations, I believe that democratic and transformational styles suit me best. I feel that I am a good listener, therefore, I highly value different perspectives from people in order to improve the work/tasks. I usually set out small tasks so as to achieve the final goals so that all members get the idea of what need to do to complete. However, I feel that I still need improvement on short-term decision-making depends on the approach to a problem. ]]> 2019-01-14 16:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320368622 Ruth https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320370118 I believe that transformational and democratic styles of leadership are very effective because communication plays a really important part in a teamwork setting however listening and incorporating people's ideas are crucial to motivate and enhance productivity.   ]]> 2019-01-14 16:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320370118 Courtney https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/320372249 I feel as though I take on a transformational and democratic leadership style as I like to listen to my peers and take on their advice and feedback.

The participative/democratic leadership style is the one that I think suits me the best. I do like to work in a team and I consider that two brains work better than just one. I believe in collaborative work and after listening all ideas, I would like to have the final decision. I think I am realistic and I can recognise a good idea, but at the same time a good critique. It is very important to listen your team and to make sure that they know that they are being listened.]]> 2019-01-15 21:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/321019900 Thishanthi https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/322029132 Having a democratic approach as leader is a very important factor as it is important to make everyone feel included. Nobody is alike therefore what everyone have to give for the team would be different, what's someones weakness is someones strength. 

I think having a group decision is the way forward, from my past experience being in a group most the time people felt excluded therefore having democratic approach, being open minded and not believing that everything I say goes is the kind of leader I aspire to be. ]]> 2019-01-18 08:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/322029132 Brenda https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/322035713 2019-01-18 09:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/322035713 Kate https://padlet.com/alanlovell2/k6mil0rbrtd2/wish/431353290 Being democratic is a really important skill alongside with clear communication skills within a team.
