Effective negotiation uses integrative bargaining to create win-win solutions, while distributive bargaining results in win-lose outcomes by treating resources as fixed. Culture also influences how people approach conflict and negotiation across countries.

Write a 4–6-page analysis of a leader you either interviewed personavickeylintern
Write a 4–6-page analysis of a leader you either interviewed personally or researched thoroughly. In your analysis, address specific ways the leader demonstrates effective leadership.
Effective leaders realize that employees should be recognized for a job well done. While some people prefer public praise and others prefer personal recognition, most employees want to be recognized in some way. Kouzes and Posner (2017) state that effective leaders begin their leadership development by first learning to lead themselves. Effective leadership begins from within and expands outward to affect others. This development cascades into effective leadership.

· Final Personal Leadership Portrait
Your last project assignment, Final Personal Leadership Portrait, is due at the end of this unit. You will synthesize all aspects of leadership and communication that you have examined and discussed in the course and analyze your own leadership qualities to create a portrait of the effective public service leader you aspire to be.
Since this assignment requires you to develop a self-portrait, you may write this paper in first-person voice. Note:It is very important for your academic development that you recognize that writing in the first person is not usually acceptable in academic papers. However, given the nature of this assignment, it has been deemed appropriate to make an exception here. Please remember that the third-person voice is the universal norm in academic writing. You should always exercise careful consideration before departing from this norm.
Your course project must be completed in its entirety. By now, you have received feedback from your Writing Coach and your instructor, which you should incorporate into this revised assignment.
Refer to the results of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the communication style self-assessment you completed in Units 1 and 2. Be sure to review and use the Writing Coach and Instructor feedback you received on your previous assignments as well:
· Unit 3: Communication and Organizational Effectiveness.
· Unit 5: Communicating and Leading for Change and Innovation.
· Unit 6: Developing Ethical and Authentic Leadership Behavior.
· Unit 7: Draft of Personal Leadership Portrait assignments.
For this assignment:
· Analyze one or more leadership styles and corresponding leadership theories based on the unit readings and your MLQ assessment results that you believe best align with personal leadership effectiveness.
I will like to focus the leadership style on an innovation leader and the transformational leader, and please use leadership theories on these types of leaders. You can just focus on the leadership style I possess which is transformational leader.
In the beginning of this course, I consider myself a democratic/participative leader, who would ideally like to become a transformational leader. This is the type of leader that is able to motivate others to become more or do more than they intended. This leader sets challenging expectations and higher performance. I believed that since this course starts I am more of a transformational leader, but also participative. The MLQ assessment shows me as a transformational leader.
Analyze one or more communication styles based on the unit readings and the results of your communication style self-assessment that you believe best align with personal communication effectiveness. There are various communication strategies for relaying information. Information can be conveyed verbally, nonverbally, or ...

INTRODUCTION
This report is intended to help you explore and expand your understanding of the leadership style you
use in your organization and how others might perceive and react to it. The information in this report is
based on your responses to two instruments: the FIRO-B® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations
Orientation–Behavior™ ) and the MBTI® (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® ) assessments.
Both instruments tap into key aspects of personality and behavior in areas such as communication,
problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal relations. The instruments are also distinct, each
providing a view of your leadership personality through a different window. Together, they complement
each other and provide rich information of use in your personal, ongoing leadership development
program.
The report is written assuming that you understand your results on both instruments and a trained
professional has interpreted your results on the FIRO-B and MBTI tools. This Leadership Report begins
with a snapshot of your leadership style. The Overall Leadership Orientation section highlights how you
lead. Next, the report offers a brief interpretive overview of your results on the FIRO-B and the MBTI
instruments. The report then describes your leadership style in various contexts: in interpersonal
relationships, in teams, and at the level of organizational culture. Next, it identifies some strengths you
may have and possible challenges you might face in dealing with change and stress. Near the end of your
report is an Action Plan that details several points you may want to include in your personal development
agenda.
The comments and interpretations in your report are intended to help you become a more adaptable
leader; they are neither an evaluation of your leadership abilities nor a test of your “CEO potential.” Also,
please keep in mind that the suggestions and interpretations are presented as hypotheses or proposals about
your leadership style, not statements of fact or the final verdict on the success of your leadership attempts.
It is up to you to verify the statements and decide how well they describe you.
The FIRO-B and the MBTI tools examine your leadership style from different perspectives; thus once in a
while what your results on one inventory say about you can seem to contradict your results on the other
inventory. Upon close examination, however, seemingly inconsistent statements may nonetheless offer
valid insights, with the instruments together offering a view of the finer contours of your personality.
In addition to supplying you with information about your own leadership style, this report can help you,
as a leader,
• recognize that each person has both strengths and possible blind spots
• allow for wide divergence in people’s views, attitudes, values, and behaviors
• see different operating styles as an opportunity to bring diverse talents and strengths together in an
organization
• use leadership approaches that match the situation and people’s differing needs, in spite of your own
needs and preferences

OVERALL LEADERSHIP ORIENTATION
The following snapshot combines your MBTI and FIRO-B results. Reviewing this section may help you
recognize the most fundamental aspects of your leadership orientation—the preferences and needs that
shape how you lead.
Facets of Your Leadership Style
Your MBTI type, ESTP, provides a wide-angle lens through which to view your leadership style.
• You lead by taking action and getting things moving.
• You contribute by being resourceful, determined, practical, and action oriented and by handling the
unexpected and out-of-the-ordinary.
• In a leadership role, you value pragmatism, cleverness, expediency, adaptability, facts, and fun.
• You make decisions using objectivity, skepticism, curiosity, and flexible guidelines.
• You project a style that is energetic, outgoing, activity oriented, direct, analytical, responsive, alert, and
quick.
• You enjoy negotiating, troubleshooting, and taking risks.
Your Leadership Approach
Your relatively strong need for Control, as measured by the FIRO-B assessment, colors in a particular way
the image of your leadership personality formed by the MBTI lens. With the FIRO-B “filter” applied to
the MBTI lens, the following overall picture of your leadership approach emerges:
• You enjoy taking responsibility for locating or negotiating resources for your work unit.
• You seek to persuade others to get things done in a way that is most expedient.
• You encourage attention and alertness to the realities of the situation that must be addressed for
immediate results.
• When forced to choose, you will focus on work priorities, areas of responsibility, and decision-making
guidelines rather than on making connections, finding out what others think, getting involved, or
building loyalties with others.
• In the short run, your goal is to take command of the most pressing problems of the day.
• In the long run, your goal is to establish the means to respond quickly and efficiently to challenging
demands.

BASIC INTERPRETATION OF YOUR FIRO-B®
RESULTS
The FIRO-B instrument measures the extent to which people attempt to satisfy three basic social needs:
Inclusion (participation, recognition, belonging), Control (power, authority, influence), and Affection
(openness, warmth, closeness). The FIRO-B tool reports on how much one initiates behavior in these
three areas (Expressed Behavior) and how much one would like others to initiate that behavior toward
them (Wanted Behavior). Your results and some interpretive remarks are shown below.

Level of Overall Interpersonal Needs:

Expressed is greater than Wanted
Your Overall Interpersonal Needs score (8) falls in the low range. This result suggests that your
involvement with others is not a reliable source of need satisfaction; instead, your needs are probably best
satisfied through intellectual stimulation or solitary pursuits. You need privacy to do your best work and
likely enjoy work that involves intense concentration on data or ideas. You likely consider yourself an
introvert.
Your Total Expressed Behavior and Total Wanted Behavior scores are both in the low range (7 and 1,
respectively). These results suggest that you are not generally comfortable initiating social behavior, nor
do you rely greatly on others to get what you need. You usually wait before speaking and acting and likely
value your independence. The fact that your Total Expressed Behavior score is slightly higher than your
Total Wanted Behavior score suggests that you may keep others at a distance in order to avoid receiving
unwanted behaviors or that you accept behaviors only from selected individuals. In addition, you may
sometimes send confusing signals about what you want from others.
5. Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B®
and MBTI®
Instruments Carman VanMeter | Page 5
Your Total Need scores for Inclusion, Control, and Affection (1, 5, and 2, respectively) reflect the
overall strength of each need. Control is the need you are most comfortable pursuing and the need
you are least likely to give up. It is therefore likely that you will focus on understanding the order and
structure of situations: who is in charge; how decisions are made; what the rules, policies, and work
priorities are.
Inclusion is the need satisfaction area you are drawn to least, the need that you would be most willing
to sacrifice. You are probably less interested in fitting in, making new connections, becoming known,
and getting involved with many people on a project than you are in satisfying your needs for Control
and Affection.

Roles You Take On in an Organization
Leaders play many different types of roles in a group. The roles you play depend on your interpersonal
needs and the needs of subordinates, colleagues, and the particular members of a team. Three important
roles that individuals can play in a group setting are described below on the left. These roles correspond
to the needs for Inclusion, Control, and Affection. The solid colored boxes below correspond to your
expressed need scores and indicate how likely you are to assume each role.
Basic Group Roles How Often You May Play the Role
Clarifier
Presents issues or solutions for clarification, summarizes
discussion, introduces new members to the team, keeps team
members up-to-date, and provides the group with facts and data. FREQUENTLY OCCASIONALLY INFREQUENTLY
Director
Pushes for action and decision making; has lots to say and wants
to say it in meetings; may be overly optimistic about what can be
accomplished by the group. FREQUENTLY OCCASIONALLY INFREQUENTLY
Encourager
Builds up the egos and status of others; remains friendly,
responsive, warm, and diplomatic; may also sacrifice the truth to
maintain good relationships. FREQUENTLY OCCASIONALLY INFREQUENTLY
These orientations suggest that overall you play the role of Once-in-a-while Director. You do not
consistently initiate activity in a team setting and often do not assume a prominent role. However, you
may occasionally take on the Director role in a particular group or at a particular meeting.
In addition, your relatively low score for wanted Inclusion suggests that you may take on the role of
Individualist. As an Individualist, you are not an active team player and see most meetings as unnecessary
and distracting.

BASIC INTERPRETATION OF YOUR MBTI®
RESULTS
The MBTI instrument describes four pairs of opposite preferences, called dichotomies. All eight
preferences are valuable, and everyone uses each of them at least some of the time. However, each
individual tends to prefer one preference in each pair and generally uses it more than its opposite.
Your MBTI preferences are ESTP. Each of these preferences is described in the chart below.
Ways of
gaining
energy E
Extraversion
You focus on your outside world and get
energy through interacting with people and
doing things.
I
Introversion
You focus on your inner world and get energy
through reflecting on information, ideas, and
concepts.
Ways of
taking in
information S
Sensing
You notice and trust facts, details, and present
realities.
N
Intuition
You attend to and trust interrelationships,
theories, and future possibilities.
Ways of
making
decisions T
Thinking
You make decisions using logical, objective
analysis.
F
Feeling
You make decisions to create harmony by
applying person-centered values.
Ways of
living in
the world J
Judging
You prefer to be organized and orderly and
to make decisions quickly.
P
Perceiving
You prefer to be flexible and adaptable and to
keep your options open.
Below are a dozen adjectives that describe ESTPs in general. Because there are individual differences
within each type, not every adjective may apply to you.
• Activity oriented
• Adaptable
• Alert
• Easygoing
• Energetic
• Fun loving
• Outgoing
• Persuasive
• Pragmatic
• Quick
• Spontaneous
• Versatile

The Role You Take On in an Organization
Each of the sixteen MBTI types has a unique leadership role. Your leadership role based on your
MBTI type, ESTP, is described below. As you read the description, remember that everyone has the
potential to play more than one kind of leadership-related role in a group.
Your preferences suggest that you may be most comfortable in the role of Promoter.* In this role, you
show your preference for taking risks and keeping things lively and fun. You are able to make things
happen and get results expediently.
* This work role and fifteen other work roles based on MBTI® type are described in Olaf Isachsen and Linda V. Berens, Working Together: A Personality-Centered Approach to Management, 3rd ed. (San
Juan Capistrano, CA: Institute for Management Development, 1995), 92–107.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS
The world of leaders is inherently social. For some, social interaction is exhilarating and energizing. For
others, it can become draining and distracting or require balancing time spent with people with some
time spent alone.
How Interaction Affects Your Leadership
Although the MBTI instrument shows that you have a preference for Extraversion, your overall
interpersonal needs are in the low range. This combination of results suggests that you enjoy the social
aspects of your work but do not engage in them regularly. You may have learned to limit interpersonal
activity over time because your organization’s work culture shuns the use of groups and teams. You may
also be the type of person who enjoys interacting with others but does not like to rely on relationships or
groups to get things done. You probably enjoy variety and keep yourself tuned to changes in the larger
world beyond your work unit or company.
Given your limited interpersonal activity, you probably don’t get the energy you need from others and
may feel a bit starved for social contact. You probably don’t mind an occasional interruption from
someone. You may quietly gather input from others over time, but still rely primarily on formal, written
communications with others. You likely maintain a small and selective circle of people with whom you
interact regularly. You may enjoy being around others, watching people interact and perhaps even
working alongside others, but may be less motivated to get directly involved with all the interactions.
What You Show First in a Leadership Role
Leaders spend a fair amount of time in new situations and are routinely required to build relations with
new people. The kind of person you will appear to be in such situations—your first face—is related to
both your strongest expressed need (as measured by the FIRO-B tool) and the dynamics of your MBTI
type.
As an ESTP, you orient your preference for Sensing toward the outside world. And your FIRO-B results
indicate that you most readily express Control. Together, these results suggest that in new situations you
are most likely to show first your willingness to quickly take responsibility for resolving pressing
operational problems. You want to get people mobilized to look at their situation realistically and move
quickly to “clean up” basic operations.

WORKING WITH GROUPS AND OTHER LEADERS
The social world of leaders is dynamic. Sometimes leadership is about making opportunities to approach
others and engage them. At other times, leadership involves being the recipient of the behavior and
actions that others direct toward us.
How You Work in a Team
Your FIRO-B scores can shed some light on how you are likely to respond to the opportunities and
pressures of working in a team.

What You Expect from Other Leaders
As a leader, it is important to be conscious of how you function as the follower of another leader and how
you act toward leaders at all levels who seek to influence you. What you expect from these other leaders
greatly affects your interaction with them.
Your expectations for other leaders are related to a certain aspect of your MBTI type and your strongest
wanted need.
You have preferences for Sensing and Perceiving, and your strongest wanted need is for Control. This
combination of results suggests that you want other leaders, above all, to clearly demonstrate responsiveness
and to show that responsiveness by taking initiative and allowing others to do so as well so that problems
get solved pragmatically. In addition, you may want other leaders to
• have a realistic sense of what needs to get done
• be direct so that you know where the boundaries are for risk taking and flexibility
12. Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B®
and MBTI®
Instruments Carman VanMeter | Page 12
When a new leader is brought into your area, it is important for you to know that this leader won’t stifle
activities or get in the way of doing the work. You may be willing to give up encouragement and support in
order to get something done efficiently.
It is also helpful to be aware of the type of leader with whom you least like working. In general, this type
of leader is one whose highest expressed need is in the same area as your lowest wanted need.
Your lowest wanted needs are for Inclusion and Affection, but FIRO-B theory predicts you will resist
Inclusion the most. Therefore, you are likely to have the least appreciation for a leader who is actively
interested in gaining your input and participation on a regular basis. This type of leader is also interested in
highly visible projects and enjoys providing you with plenty of public recognition.

POWER AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
The interpersonal and group dynamics of leadership discussed on the previous pages take place in the
even broader context of the “culture” and social structure of the organization. Leaders are engaged in this
level at all times, influencing it and being influenced by it.
Your Bases of Power and Influence
Anyone who assumes a leadership role must develop some kind of power through which he or she attains
influence over others. Some leaders develop socialized power: attaining influence in order to help others
and have an impact. Other leaders rely on formal power: exercising power to achieve a personal goal of
being influential and then using influence to succeed in fulfilling important objectives. A third type of
leader uses affiliative power: becoming influential by nurturing and supporting people so that personal
and organizational values are fulfilled. Which of these three kinds of power you are most likely to develop
over the long term is directly related to your area of greatest interpersonal need.
Because your strongest interpersonal need is for Control, the influence that you will try to create as a
leader is likely to be based on formal power.
Formal power is the tendency to value and desire power for the purposes of personal control, to prevail in
encounters with others, and to gain the satisfaction of getting one’s way. Your interest in formal power is
likely to lead you to compete for resources, to influence priorities via planning processes, and to advocate
effectively for functions within your assigned responsibilities. You will also seek to expand your base of
influence by developing expertise and skills in areas valued by your organization.
Your Influence on Organizational Culture
The base of power you build in an organization is related to the type of organizational culture you will
strive to create. Organization-wide culture is a complex phenomenon, but your leadership is likely to have
a strong influence on the culture among the staff and within the units that you directly oversee. As is the
case for your bases of organizational power, the kind of culture you are likely to strive for is directly
related to your area of greatest interpersonal need.
Because your strongest need is for Control, you are likely to work to establish an organizational culture
characterized by
• concentration of power
• competition between individuals and departments
14. Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B®
and MBTI®
Instruments Carman VanMeter | Page 14
• decisiveness and accountability
• dependence on direction from management
And because your least important need is for Inclusion, you are comfortable letting certain Inclusion-
related aspects of organizational culture develop without your guidance, creating the possibility that you
will receive occasional complaints about
• barriers to the inner circle
• isolation and fragmentation of subgroups
• limited acknowledgment and recognition
• limited consideration of others’ ideas and opinions
Your MBTI type can provide additional insights into how you influence organizational culture. You are
likely to use the power and influence you have as a leader to create a work environment that is congruent
with your preference for either Intuition or Sensing and your preference for either Thinking or Feeling.
Because you have preferences for Sensing and Thinking, you are likely to be most comfortable in a work
environment in which
• there are clear objectives and expectations
• realism and stability are highly valued
• others want data to be specific and accurate
• authority and reporting relationships are assigned and hierarchical
• everyone is expected to be well trained and prepared
15. Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B®

DEALING WITH CHANGE AND STRESS
Organizational change can be stressful for all involved. Successful navigation of change may depend on
the leadership you show, either as the initiator of the change or as someone who helps guide others
through the change period.
Your MBTI type and FIRO-B scores suggest that you have certain strengths and resources at your
disposal for demonstrating leadership during times of change. At the same time, each of these strengths
has its potential downside. If pushed too far, a strength can lose its effectiveness and open up an area of
challenge to you.
Strengths and Resources Potential Related Challenges
You know what works and doesn’t work under the
present conditions.
You may not realize that conditions have changed and
that proven strategies may no longer be effective.
You are willing to take charge and get people
through the change period.
You may allow followers to become too dependent on
you, and you may establish too much control over
them.
You are able to get a lot done during the change
despite the confusion, and you are willing to take
the initiative.
You may not take time to think strategically and
prioritize tasks, and you may get people going off in
too many different directions.
You respond well to the need to learn or create new
structures, processes, and procedures, and you are
most comfortable with the mechanics of the change.
You may demand too much certainty in how things will
work once the change is complete, and you find it
difficult to be comfortable with the organic nature of
change.
You are willing to accept decisions from above, and
you can work quickly to institutionalize the change.
You may feel a lack of guidance, get distracted easily,
and have trouble remaining productive in the face of
new obstacles.
You are able to remain detached from the change
and to concentrate on immediate concerns.
You may not be well enough informed about the
objectives of the change, and you may not recognize
how interdependencies with others will be affected by
the change.
You are good at transforming visions into reality
and keeping things moving, and you are
comfortable with rapid change.
You may be impatient with long deliberations about
the change and overly anxious to get started; you can
be blunt and curt with others.
