Various leadership styles used include Transformational leadership, which is used by leaders to transform teams and the entire organization for consistent progress (Sethuraman, & Suresh, 2014, p 12).

LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT PROFILE ASSIGNMENT TRAIT THEORY 1. Three leadership threats Trait Theory is a method to the survey of the personality of humankind. It evaluates the traits that can be identified as a formal structure of the conduct, belief and character. The three leadership traits from the Trait Theory are as follows: Eagerness to accept the responsibility: A good leader is always eager to take responsibilities. When I was in the eighth standard, I was made the leader of the group for a project. I, with my team, had worked hard on the project, and I even worked all night to complete it. Interpersonal Skills: Leader having an excellent interpersonal skill likes to interact efficiently with its group and teams (Galinha al., 2017). When I was in ninth standard, we had an interschool competition on a fun level, but my school was not prepared. I encouraged my mates to participate in the contest. Even though we did not win, we attended and had shown our participation spirit. Emotional Intelligence: It is the power to handle their own and other emotions…
Leadership Experiences When you work for an organization as large as the one I am employed by, diversity within a team is a common issue I have experienced. The higher the cultural diversity within a team, the more noticeable the differences are in attitudes and behaviors. The two most common types of diversity I have found in my organization are ethnicity/race, gender, and age. The first type of diversity I have encountered in my professional experience would be age. As stated by Blackman (2017), people of different ages tend to think differently due to different experiences. For example, I am technically a Millennial, so I am more technology savvy and able to assist my co-workers who are from the Baby Boomer and Gen X generations on the latest software that we are using. I also feel that I think more critically and work at a much faster pace than my co-workers who are not from my generation. This can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to working on a team, as I find myself much more…
Leadership Management Trait Theory 1) Different theoretical practices are adopted in the corporate world for optimum work performance and strong corporate governance. The trait theory is one such theory that associates with self-responsibility and liability towards the organization for which one is working. The trait theory provides productive information regarding leadership qualities. There are different leadership traits related to trait theory that is consciousness, determination, empathy, responsibility, confidence, brightness, sincerity and focus. Strengths and weaknesses of an employee can be evaluated with the help of this process (Nawaz & Khan, 2016). This practice can thus be used to polish the inner leaders for even better results. The three traits I possess are consciousness, responsibility and honesty. As a student, I was conscious, as I was a good listener and observer of events happening around. On the responsibility part, I have bestowed the duty of a class monitor to supervise the activities of the students. Lastly, honesty is an integral part of me as I find it pointless to be dishonest because it has its own set of problems and side…
Business Report Format Note: Discussion responses should be in a business report format. A business report format is a factual report when you refrain from using I, we, and “opinions.” It is also not a question / answer document, but one where you treat it as if you have been asked by your boss to report back to the group on the topic. Providing subtitles and concise wording is also important. For example, here is an example of a business report format for the question comment on the politicization of GAAP. Please, proofread your answer. Remember this is NOT a blog, informal social media post, but instead concise, well thought out thoughts. Adding outside research is also a plus, but make sure you cite (and reword) your sources. Politicization of GAAP Background In 1936, American Institute of Accountant (AIA) and the American Society of Certified Public Accountants formed the largest for professional accountant called American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This organization has had a huge influenced in accounting theory. This organization sets standards for audits of private companies and other…

Leadership Management Profile Assessment Trait Theory Leadership traits from Trait Theory that I possess are: Honesty and integrity – These traits are integral not only on a professional level but on a personal level as well (Lee, 2018). I am very sincere about my work. For instance, I would never opt for unethical means to get my job done just to satisfy myself and my superior and neither would I let others do it. In the past, I have often resisted taking bribes from people whenever I had to interview people for the field survey. Confidence – This is another trait that can also make or break a person. Based on a situation or context, a person should be able to adapt to it. A confident person is more likely to succeed in the workplace.
