A leader is much more than a title. A leader is someone who guides the employees and works jointly to achieve a goal. You already know that a leader needs to know himself, exercise good communication, understand the employees’ behavior, and motive them. Put yourself in the shoes of a leader, and answer the following questions:
- Based on the 16-personalities assessment you completed (available in the Additional Resources section), which is your profile? How do you describe yourself, as a professional?
- Which theory of motivation would you use to motivate your employees? Why?
- Which leadership theory describes your leadership style? Why?
- At least one source outside of your textbook must be used, and it must be included in the reference list at the end of the post
- All sources should be included in the content of the post using APA format
