Describe the factors that will influence your choice of leadership styles or behaviors in workplace situations.
There are several factors which may affect my choice of leader style in my workplace situations.
The first factor is the task. A manager needs to be certain that all team members share a common goal. Once this has been clarified it is the manager’s job to guide his team to accomplish these goals and complete the task.
To make it easier for the manager the team’s tasks should be created using the ACLM Model. Once the task has been clearly defined it is then easier for the manager to decide which leadership style to use in the given situation. He can then develop individuals, build a team and then achieve his goals.

For example, when the team and its leader have been given a task that has a tight deadline. You will find that it will be more effective to instruct the team on exactly what task needs completing. This in turn creates a very effective team, resulting in meeting that tight deadline. Although the team will not be able to voice their ideas and opinions, in this situation the end goal is the most important. The Autocratic style of management can, and often does, have a negative effect on the team.

2.What Leadership skills do you think I need to develop to make me a better Leader?
Using the John Adair’s Action Centred Leadership Model (ACLM), which focuses on Team, Task and the Individual.
Team:
As a Participative leader I accept input from one or more of my team when making decisions and solving problems, but as the leader I retain the final say when choices are made. Team members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since I am not an expert in all areas. Input from team members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making.
The feedback from my team has also suggested my leadership style to be Participative however there was a certain element of a Delegative style present. My team referred to the following leadership skills such as resolving conflict, facilitating discussion, motivating, listening and facilitating development. These skills are commonly associated with a Participative Leadership Style.
