VISIONARY-ADAPTIVE
High emotional and organizational knowledge scores are associated with a
personality that encourages change and constantly challenges assumptions. Your
communications is inclusive, ongoing, and feedback is sought out from others. You
foster a high level of creativity and productivity with little workplace stress. Teamwork
is common and a balance between personal and workplace needs is important to
you. Your relationships are built on mutual trust and shared understanding. Your
approach to leadership is usually of the "servant" and transformational style.
COLLABORATIVE-SUPPORTIVE
A moderate to high emotional factor score combined with a low to moderate
knowledge score is indicative of good but not great two-way communications and
average levels of trust. You accept change as a given but it' not always well
managed. Still, people around you feel supported and respected. Your see conflict
as a natural and potentially positive part of growth. Your leadership style is more
transformational than transactional.
Take your Index score and apply both the Emotional Factor and Knowledge Factor scores to the
Leadership / Followership Profile at the bottom. Which one of the following 4 personality profiles fits
you?
CAUTIOUS-CONTROLLING
A low to moderate emotional score combined
with a moderate to high knowledge score
suggests that you place emotional needs
second to “looking good” in the workplace. You
view change with suspicion and defensiveness,
there’s minimal creativity and innovation, and
your personal communication style is top-down
with little opportunity for feedback and
collaboration. You view conflict as a negative
force that must and can be “managed” away.
Your leadership style is frequently the
transactional, "command and control" variety
with little interest in the challenging of
assumptions.
SUSPICIOUS DEFENSIVE
Low to moderate emotion factor and knowledge
factor scores reflects a personality that is highly
resistant to change and threatened by opposing
viewpoints. You have little inclination for
innovation or creativity, preferring instead to
protect the status quo. Your communication
style is directive-based and there' little value
seen in relationship building or collaboration.
You view conflict or contrary views as a threat
that must be attacked and subdued. Your
workplace environment has high levels of stress
and poor morale with accompanying low levels
of performance and commitment, although this
is not seen as your fault. Your leadership style
is isolated, rigid, and strongly transactional ("Do
it my way or else!"), although you don't see
anything wrong with this!.
