Scoring Determine your leadership style by totaling all the
numbers you selected into a single sum. Your score will fall
between 18 and 96. Interpreting the Score Here is what your score
means. The LPC scale was developed by Fred Fiedler to identify a
person’s dominant leadership style. According to Fiedler, this
style is a relatively fixed part of your personality and is
therefore difficult to change. That assumption is the foundation of
Fiedler’s contingency theory, which suggests that the key to good
leadership is finding (or creating) good matches between leadership
styles and situations. Fiedler’s theory assumes that leaders are
effective when their work groups perform well, that leaders are
unable to change their leadership styles, that leadership styles
must be matched to the proper situation, and that favorable
situations permit leaders to influence group members. According to
the LPC scale, there are two basic leadership styles. People who
describe their LPC in a positive way have relationship-oriented
leadership styles. In general, relationship-oriented leaders with
high LPC scores are better leaders undermoderately favorable
situations. If you scored 73 or above, Fiedler considers you a
relationship-oriented leader. By contrast, people who describe
their LPC in a negative way have task-oriented leadership styles
and are better leaders in highly favorable and unfavorable
situations. If your score was less than 64, Fielder considers you a
task-oriented leader. If your score fell between 65 and 72, Fiedler
describes your style as flexible, as being able to somewhat
relationship-oriented and somewhat task-oriented. Share your
thoughts on this self-assessment, your results, and its
implications. If needed, how might you improve your self-management
skills: If you have not had work experience to date, consider
instead a team, club, or organization in which you have been a
participant. With all discussions, you are expected to make an
initial posting (250-word minimum)
