Taking the LMX-7 Questionnaire gave me valuable insight into my leadership relationships. I scored 28 as a leader and 26 as a follower, indicating strong, high-quality exchanges built on trust, respect, and collaboration.
From a leader’s perspective, my score reflects that I foster a supportive environment where my team feels valued and empowered. As a follower, I have a positive relationship with my leader but recognize opportunities to engage more deeply in mentorship and feedback.
Key Takeaways:
- Personalized Engagement – Strengthen 1:1 connections with my team, tailoring support to their growth and well-being.
- Encourage Open Feedback – Foster a culture where my team feels comfortable providing candid input.
- Maximize My Own Development – Be more proactive in seeking mentorship and feedback from my leader.
This exercise reinforced that strong leadership is about relationships, not authority. Building trust, open communication, and continuous learning at all levels will enhance both my leadership and team dynamics.
Hi Keith,
Two great scores. Your comments about recognizing "opportunities to engage more deeply in mentorship and feedback" with your leader highlights the power we have as followers to influence relationships with leaders in ways that foster our personal and professional growth. I touched on it tangentially in my post, but you hit the nail on the head. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing "seeking mentorship and feedback from my leader." I agree with you, feedback could help us grow and increase the trust among the team as well.
