After taking the Leadership Behavior Questionnaire, I scored 43 on task and 46 on relationship, both in the high range. This tells me that I focus on getting things done while also prioritizing strong relationships within my team. I see my role as a leader as setting clear expectations and creating a supportive environment where people feel valued and motivated.

What score did you receive and why?

I got a 43 on task and a 46 on relationship, which makes sense based on how I lead. One question that stood out to me was #1: "Tells group members what they are supposed to do." I rated myself a 2 on that one because I believe that unless someone is new or inexperienced, my job isn’t to dictate every step—it’s to share the vision and let the team figure out the best way to get there. This ties back to our discussion on situational leadership in the last module. Giving people ownership over how they accomplish their work builds stronger, more engaged teams.

What did you learn about yourself because of taking this survey?

This survey reinforced something I’ve always believed—leadership is about balance. While I naturally blend both task and relationship approaches, I also recognize that I sometimes lean more into relationship-building. That’s great for engagement and team morale, but it’s also a reminder to make sure I’m providing enough clarity and direction, especially in high-pressure situations.

What modifications or enhancements will you make to be a better leader in the workplace?

Moving forward, I want to be even more intentional about adjusting my leadership style based on the situation. While I’ll continue to give my team autonomy, I’ll also make sure I’m stepping in with more direct guidance when needed—especially for those who are still growing in their roles. I also want to gather more feedback from my team on how my leadership style impacts them so I can continue to improve. Leadership is always a work in progress, and I want to keep evolving.
