The leadership style that I most identify with is the Entrepreneurial leadership style. The strong and weak traits that I have all associate with this style. I have also taken the time to ask my current manager, wife, and associates to choose the style that they feel I most identify with and they all choose the Entrepreneurial leadership style.
The first strength that I have as a leader is my strong achievement drive and relentless dedication to complete each job successfully. When I am given a task or set a goal that I either need or want to accomplish I will work every possible minute to accomplish the task or meet my goal. If I reach a road block while working on a task I will search endlessly for a solution and fall back on resources if needed. I believe that nothing can keep me from accomplishing any goal that I set.
My second strength that I have as a leader would be my visionary perspective and my strong eye on the future. I will always keep the big picture of the task or goal in mind while working through the details and will try not to get hung up on the smaller items. I will share my visions with upper management as well as associates so that they understand some of the decisions that I make and also to let them see the larger picture and vision that I possess.
Having a strong Entrepreneurial leadership style has many strengths but it also possesses many weaknesses, which I hold. The first weakness that I possess as a leader is a strong dislike of hierarchy and bureaucracy. My strong achievement drive has pushed me to be extremely self-sufficient and I have a very difficult time taking advice or listening to the management team of my company. I feel constrained in my position by the bureaucratic system of my company and feel that I would be far more successful if I could work more independently
