Leadership Traits

My Top Five Strengths

The first of my five leadership strengths qualities is connectedness. This virtue goes well with my Laissez Faire Leadership Style whereby I can easily be able to relate with others in a way that builds them up, encourages, and brings out their highest potential. Secondly, I am a developer which means I empower others since I know that for my subordinates to give their best, it is vital for them to have a sense of ownership over their work and even believe that what they are doing is right and significant. In a Laissez Faire Leadership Style, I have to communicate the goals and deadlines well to the subordinates and then allow them to work autonomously and authoritatively in deciding how to get things done.
