Life Styles Inventory: Instructor to Management May 11, 2012 Introduction: When a person makes the choice to move their life into management the use of tools, discussion and self reflection are crucial to making the proper growth as a person. The Life Styles Inventory (LSI) assessment exercise is a self evaluation survey that measures various thinking and behavioral patterns within the bounds of the test taker. The LSI has 3 core areas of styles, an axis of people centric/task orientation and an axis of needs. The results from the LSI assessment pinpoints my strong and weak attributes, and provide suggestions on how to improve on less desired traits and develop a plan of action to improve by making choices to increase constructive styles, while decreasing passive/aggressive defensive styles. While using this tool and having conversation with my family certain realizations where proven to be very beneficial to my growth.
The intent of this paper is to examine and analyze my challenge through various leadership theories/models, and to identify leadership styles and behaviors that will be effective in achieving my goal. Although there are a number of theories that can be examined, I have selected three that I believe will be most useful to me. First I will define three theories to include Fiedler’s Contingency Theory, the path-goal theory, and the Situational Leadership II model. Next I will discuss the application of the models to my leadership challenge and why I selected it. Finally, I will conclude with a reflective analysis and reveal what I have learned from my research about leadership and the application of the three leadership theories.
| The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven | Book Review | | Tammy Mudd | 10/18/2011 | RDG 030 | The Book I chose to do a review on is “The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven” by Kevin and Alex Malarkey.
