Want to explore your leadership style, to learn about how you get work done through others? Try this quiz.
Leadersdirect quizzes are meant for your personal use only. They indicate general trends and are not scientifically validated tests. They are meant to stimulate you to think about yourself, not to give you definitive answers. You may therefore disagree with your results as easily as agree with them, but we hope you find your results to be interesting food for thought.
This quiz looks at the continuum from having a directive leadership style to having an inclusive style, recognizing that most people may not operate with one style exclusively but rather lean one way a little more than the other while occasionally using both. In addition, it must be noted that neither style is always right for all situations. In a crisis, a more directive style is best, also when an inclusive approach fails with a highly resistant, poor performing employee. The questions used in this quiz are not scientifically verified, however. There may well be better questions, so you should decide for yourself how applicable the results are for you. Try to learn something from your results, however, regardless of how your results come out. In doing the quiz, you accept the limitations that all such quizzes have. They are meant as a likely indicator of a style preference, not as definitive proof.
The quiz has 24 questions. Some questions are assigned 1 point for the more inclusive answer, some 2, some 3 for a total of 35 points. The higher your score the more inclusive your style. Lower scores suggest a preference for a more directive style.
