¶ … Org Behavior Organizational Behavior and Leadership Profile The leadership styles that managers exert in their organization have an important influence on the behavior of employees and on their productivity and efficiency. This means that leaders must continuously analyze their leadership behavior in order to identify aspects that are not in accordance with the objectives of the company or with the team. It is [also important to analyze organizational behavior in order to better integrate these aspects. The leadership style was quite interesting to take, and the results provided some surprises.

My scores in this case are the following: authoritarian style -- 28, participative style -- 34, and delegative style -- 27. This means that I usually apply the participative or democratic leadership style, but in certain situations I apply the autocratic or the delegative style. This is somewhat of a surprise for me because I consider myself as clearly a democratic leader. The surprise is represented by the high score in the autocratic and delegative style, which are quite close with the scores in the democratic leadership style.

I consider myself as rarely employing the methods associated with these two types of leadership. I prefer to make use of autocratic leadership when addressing organizational strategy decisions, in establishing the strategic line that the company must follow. Furthermore, I discuss strategic alternatives with my team, encouraging the team members to participate with their ideas and to discuss alternatives that seem to be the most suitable. Although the team does not necessarily vote on all decisions, it is important to reach agreement on the discussed issues.

This is because the strategic implementation and its success depend on the agreement and understanding of the team members. Also, I do not necessarily encourage the delegative leadership style, or at least not as revealed by the scores in this test. Although I encourage the participation of employees, I try not to allow them too much freedom in establishing certain aspects that influence the objectives of the company. However, the scores in the test reveal that my opinion and self-assessment might not be objective.

The organizational business test also revealed some interesting facts. The results in the survey are the following: autocratic -- 18, custodial -- 19, supportive -- 20, and collegial -- 18. The scores in these categories are quite close, making it difficult to determine what the regular behavior of the company is. However, given the fact that the supportive behavior has the highest scores, it means that the company encourages this type of behavior. Based on my observations at the workplace, this is mostly true.

The environment within the company is supportive of employees' development and encourages collegial relationships. However, there are situations that require autocratic and custodial management. It is obvious that my leadership style that seems to not be clearly perceived needs improvement. Therefore, I intend to continue with professional assessment and with training programs design to improve my leadership skills. In addition to this, I consider that it is extremely important to gain as much practice as possible in this field. Regarding the organizational.
